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

It’s notoriously difficult to predict when the sun will belch out a large solar flare — an explosive burst of radiation that ...

Scientists have long struggled to accurately predict solar flares, but a recent breakthrough using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has uncovered a promising new sign: flickering coronal loops. These ...

Helium can help scientists detect the speed and direction at which we’re moving through space. Deuterium, which is left over ...

Flickering coronal "loops" on the Sun are warning signs of a coming solar eruption, paving the way for better space weather predictions.

Conventional models for solar, for example, often reduce variability to a yearly average. “It was not as important when renewable wind and solar were only 5% of all energy sources but that is ...
