Solar flares heat ions much more strongly than electrons. The finding offers a new explanation for spectral line broadening. Recent work from the Andrews suggests that particles in solar flares can ...

Scientists from the University of St Andrews have discovered that ions in solar flares can reach scorching temperatures more than 60 million degrees—6.5 times hotter than previously believed. This ...

Surya, an AI model developed by NASA and IBM, tries to find hidden patterns in solar data to detect solar flares and winds. NASA and IBM have released a new open-source machine learning model to help ...

In May 2024, an epic solar storm rattled Earth so powerfully that its effects were felt even at the bottom of the ocean. In the wake of a torrent of flare activity on the Sun, our planet was buffeted ...

Fluctuations in solar radiation are a problem for solar power plants as they cause problems in the power grid and other reliability issues. In a recent study, scientists aimed to deepen our ...

EU upgrades open-access tool to assess residential solar-plus-storage yield The European Commission has released version 5.3 of its free Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) tool, ...
