Pests are, well, pesky because they simply won’t go away. And in a terrifying turn of events, scientists found that the fruit fly—a super common kitchen pest—adapts and survives under crushing ...

Expose an animal to extreme physical stress, and the expectation is simple: It will break down. But when UC Riverside scientists subjected fruit flies to forces many times stronger than Earth's ...

NASA’s Artemis II mission launch on April 1, 2026. With space flight poised to become more common, experiments to understand hypergravity will likely only become more relevant. Expose an animal to ...
