Solar flares heat ions much more strongly than electrons. The finding offers a new explanation for spectral line broadening. Recent work from the University of St Andrews suggests that particles in solar flares can become 6.5 Read More
Reaching 2 petawatts of power, the NSF-funded ZEUS facility at the University of Michigan supports research with potential benefits for medicine, national security, materials science, and other fields. The ZEUS laser facility at the University of Read More
Caltech Physicists Discover “Double Helix,” a New Equilibrium State of
Caltech experiments uncovered a stable double helix state in plasma flux ropes. The same principles explain cosmic structures such as the Double Helix Nebula. Research into the Sun’s outer atmosphere has led Caltech applied Read More
