Fruit flies survive 13G hypergravity, show resilience in rapid-spin centrifuge
SMRTR summary
Fruit flies survived and even reproduced under gravitational forces up to 13G in a centrifuge study by UC Riverside scientists — far beyond what humans can endure. The insects showed behavioral changes but eventually recovered, suggesting living things may adapt better than expected to extreme gravity, with implications for astronauts and space travel.
