In its new assignment, the division will extend the focus of its current programs in the physical and engineering sciences and biotechnology beyond experiments for the International Space Station, and will establish cutting edge, university-focused, interdisciplinary research efforts in the areas of nanoscience, biomolecular physics and chemistry, and exploration research. While the former microgravity division's scope has been expanded beyond the scientific examination of gravity-related phenomena, its new role within NASA is not yet fully defined, and the additional resources available for new investigations are expected to be limited.
