The sun is taking center stage with recent solar flare activity sparking modest space weather tomorrow, with an added metaphorical selfie as NASA recently released the first-ever images of the sun’s ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...

A century of solar observations from Kodaikanal Solar Observatory and modern satellite data reveal patterns in the Sun’s polar magnetic activity, aiding predictions of future solar cycles.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Solar flares are a great reminder of our sun’s truly immense ...

For three decades, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has been our eyes on the Sun, unveiling mysteries of solar activity and space weather. What began as a two-year mission has since ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Indian scientists have captured the birth of a powerful solar shock wave using Aditya-L1. The breakthrough could improve space weather forecasting and protect satellites, GPS and communication systems ...

The SETI Institute recently hosted the Joint IRIS and MUSE Science Team Meeting, bringing together more than 50 solar physicists from around the world for an intensive week of collaboration and ...

The White House is moving to dismantle a weather research facility in Colorado, a decision that would not only impact climate science on Earth, but our ability to understand space weather as well. The ...
