Materials and Life Science Experiments for the Sounding Rocket MAPHEUS

This Special Topic collects articles relating to the MAPHEUS (MAterialPHysikalische Experimente Unter Schwerelosigkeit) sounding rocket and a facility designed for parabolic flight experiments. Coverage includes materials sciences (solidification research, thermophysical property measurements, liquid-liquid phase separation, active-Brownian particles, granular matter, and complex plasma), life sciences (protein behavior in plants, membrane fluidity, and the molecular response of living cells), and dosimetry experiments.
