Can anyone explain the sort of things that scientists do under micro-gravity conditions, why, and how is it useful?

Chrystal grow differently in microgravity. This allows scientist to grow structure in space that just aren't possible here. Also how the human body reacts to the loss of gravity is important for later extended space trips. NASA has lots of other information.

You'd better explain what are "micro-gravity conditions" first.

The absolute coolest thing I ever heard about practical uses of zero or microgravity is the production of "foam steel" and "foam aluminum". You could make metallic styrofoam, basically, which would be extremely strong and yet extremely light weight. Just think of what you could build with it!!!
