A new analysis of satellite data could upend conventional wisdom about how solar storms produce their dangerous radiation—not from X-shaped mergers of magnetic field lines but from swirling vortices.Read More »
New research shows how the Sun's magnetic field can shift when it approaches Earth, which can throw off space weather forecasts.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
A luminary's luminary, Rubin shed light on the existence of dark matter, blazed a trail for women in science, and inspired and guided subsequent generations of scientists.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
What happens when two plasmas with different temperatures overlap? The answer depends on a quantum effect that twists the waves as they ripple through the sea of electrons.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
The editor of a new book describes how a unique combination of the monograph and video show that a four-decade old paradigm in solar-terrestrial physics is changing.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
New calculations show that lightning-triggered plasma waves in Earth's magnetosphere absorb energy from slow particles and energize electrons to levels that can damage satellites severely.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
A new study suggests that poleward boundary intensifications in the aurora are caused by fast flows of plasma from the poles into the auroral oval.Read More »
