NASA has identified two types of auroras—fast-pulsating and flickering. Pulsating auroras flash on and off within seconds.

In an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) collision, interactions between a virtual photon emitted by the colliding electron can reveal the arrangement of quarks and gluons within a hadron -- in this case ...

NASA is launching rockets into the Northern Lights from Alaska to investigate why auroras have distinct movements such as ...

Owing to the high electron number density, the electron plasma frequency is extremely high and it far exceeds the electron collision frequency. Such properties lead to many novel effects 4 , 5 , 6 .
