Scientists may have found a way to investigate the curious processes that accelerate solar particles to tremendous speeds. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) — huge eruptions of ...

A new study offers the first direct evidence showing where near-light speed particle acceleration occurs inside the largest explosion known in the solar system, the solar flare. CREDIT Sijie Yu of ...

Gravity is incredibly weak. Just think: You can lift your foot despite the mass of the entire Earth pulling against it. Why is it so weak? That’s unclear. And it might take a very, very big science ...

A large team of researchers working on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Collaboration, which has been analyzing eleven years' ...

Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems employing solid particle receivers represent a promising advancement in renewable energy technology. By replacing conventional heat transfer fluids with solid ...

A new study offers direct evidence showing where near-light speed particle acceleration occurs inside the largest explosion known in the solar system, the solar flare. Solar flares are among the most ...

Solar flares are among the most violent explosions in our solar system, but despite their immense energy — equivalent to a hundred billion atomic bombs detonating at once — physicists still haven’t ...
