Magnetic threads around 500km in width found on the Sun
Scientists at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) have used NASA’s High-Resolution Coronal Imager (or Hi-C for short) to capture the highest resolution images...
Mystery solved: How hazardous space radiation begins?
The study highlights a new phase of the energization process that is critical for the formation of radiation hazards.
Figuring out the power of the black hole’s outburst
Michael Calzadilla and colleagues describe a violent black hole outburst that provides new insight into galaxy cluster evolution.
Scientists created a high frame-rate movie of a growing black hole
Violent flaring revealed at the heart of a black hole system.
Plasma flow near sun’s surface explains sunspots, other solar phenomena
Understanding previously mysterious properties of the sun.
Astrophysical shock phenomena reproduced in the laboratory
The lab-scale experiment could help scientists understand interstellar and galactic-scale smashups.
Physicists recreate mini sun to study solar winds and plasma burps
With their mini-sun in place, the researchers can take measurements at many points inside the ball, allowing them to study solar phenomena in three dimensions.
Scientists reproduced the dynamics behind high-energy astrophysical shocks
Now experiments led by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) in the Princeton Center for Heliophysics have for the first time reproduced the process behind the source of astrophysical shocks.
Physicists create stable, strongly magnetized plasma jet in laboratory
Most of the observable matter in the Universe, over almost all of the history of the universe, has been in the plasma state. In...
Machine Learning may help capture fusion energy on Earth
Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly...
Black hole nine times larger than the sun is pulling in space and time
Recently, astronomers have detected fast - powerful, relativistic, swirling jets coming from a black hole that lies about 8000 light-years from Earth. The black...
When liquid metal turns to plasma, the physics get weird
For the first time, analysts at the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) have figured out how to transform a liquid metal...
