The Inouye Solar Telescope captured magnetic, silk-like "stripes" on the solar surface called photospheric striations.

The region of space dominated by Earth's magnetic field is the magnetosphere. Observations have shown that, within this ...

Passwords you can’t steal” sounds like hype, but the physics is real. A Kyoto University team built a tiny light source that ...

Earth's magnetic field plays a key role in protecting life on our planet. Yet its origin and evolution remain subjects of ...

A challenge in plasma physics has been to understand multi-scale coupling, a process where particle-level turbulence scales ...

What occurs during the melting process in two-dimensional systems at the microscopic level? Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have explored this phenomenon in thin magnetic ...

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator. It uses magnetic and electric fields to speed up charged particles like protons or ions to very high speeds. This allows the particles to collide with ...

Essentially, the helicity "barrier" alters turbulent dissipation, changing how fluctuations dissipate and how the plasma is heated. The team has now analyzed data from the Parker Solar Probe, and it ...

After weeks of reduced activity, the sun erupted with three powerful flares on a single day. That could send solar flares ...

To make fusion reactors, we need materials that can withstand its punishing environment, and a new Chinese-made material can ...
