Brussels Laboratory of the Universe
Embark on a space aventure with us
BLU is a joint initiative of ULB research groups that introduce you to their research in the field of space, in the broadest sense.
Theoretical cosmology, astrophysics, the composition of planetary atmospheres, Earth observation, microgravity and radio-resistant biological organisms, materials, engines used on launchers and spacecraft, are just a few examples of cutting-edge research carried out at our university.
What we do
Discoveries beyond the stars, research that defies gravity.

Changes of EEG beta band power and functional connectivity during spaceflight: a retrospective study
Spaceflight exposes astronauts to unique conditions like microgravity, which may affect brain function, though it remains underexplored compared to other physiological systems.This study analyzed EEG data from five male astronauts…
Lors du Big Bang, seuls l’hydrogène et l’hélium existaient dans l’Univers. Une réalité bien éloignée de la diversité des éléments qui composent notre environnement actuel. Cette évolution a été rendue…
