In magnetic reconnection, adjacent magnetic field lines break and snap together to form new lines. This process converts ...

A study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters reveals new insights into the triggering mechanisms of solar ...

In a new study, Iowa physicists propose that interplanetary magnetic field rotation could help explain why Mars became the ...

Taiwan global premiere brings cosmic phenomena to life with cutting-edge visuals and astrophysical simulations | ...

Even after years of efforts, humans still have not been able to understand the planet and its phenomena. Thus, space as a ...

A recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters reveals new insights into the triggering mechanisms of solar ...

Magnetic reconnection occurs when anti-parallel magnetic fields—in this case found in solar flares—collide, break, and realign. The process produces a high-energy explosion that flings ...

My research has centered on magnetic reconnection in space and laboratory plasmas, with emphasis on particle distributions, instabilities and the role and nature of nonlinear electron phase space ...

The effect known as 'Russell-McPherron' is down to the alignment of the Sun and Earth around the spring and autumn equinox and means that you are twice as likely to see the aurora in spring and autumn ...
