A giant solar flare on our sun was powered by an avalanche of smaller magnetic disturbances, providing the clearest insight yet into how energy from our star is released in a torrent of high-energy ...

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

F or all of its life-sustaining energy, the sun is pretty chaotic. Roiling plasma covers its surface along with fluidic snarls of magnetic fields that birth solar flares. These fiery outbursts occur ...

The magnetic north pole has been wandering through the Arctic for decades, but lately, its changing path has grabbed the ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

Space weather refers to the effects of solar activity – particularly solar storms – throughout the heliosphere, the vast region of space influenced by the Sun, extending out far beyond Pluto. Within ...

Stars are born in a cosmic tug-of-war. The interplay between gravity, turbulence, and magnetic fields (B-fields) weaves ...

Energy harvesting from power lines and magnetic fields has emerged as a promising avenue to complement conventional energy systems. This approach leverages ambient electromagnetic fields generated by ...
