Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

As if returning to the Moon’s vicinity hadn’t already had enough things to delay it, now risky space weather could get in the ...

Jackson College invites students, staff and the community to a special presentation by noted scientist, heliophysicist Rebecca Robinson.

A team of scientists from around the world has created the first system that can predict when and where extremely powerful ...

For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

In our latest episode of Lexicon, we sit down with Dr. Lulu Zhao, an ...

Groundbreaking advances in solar and space physics have provided key insights into the inner workings of the heliosphere, the vast protective bubble formed by the solar wind that extends from the Sun ...

Solar physics investigates the complex processes occurring in our Sun – the nearest star and a prototypical example of stellar activity. Central to the discipline is an understanding of the Sun’s ...

Researchers have directly observed torsional Alfvén waves twisting through the Sun’s corona — magnetic waves first predicted over 80 years ago. Captured using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, ...

What processes are responsible for heating solar flares and what dangers do they pose to Earth? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as an ...

When private companies develop and sell solar geoengineering technologies, they draw a proprietary curtain over a planetary matter. If countries want to pursue the public good, international ...
