The Sun, which provides us with light and heat, is also the site of immense phenomena. In 2017, a powerful solar flare ...

New data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an "atom smasher" at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, reveals how the primordial ...

3D visualization of an ELM in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamk as simulated with the MEGA code. The tokamak volue is colored according to the ELM structure. TheELM interacts with the energetic particle whose ...

Our sun can seem deceptively peaceful from Earth, but only because we have the luxury of living 150 million kilometers away. Up close, it's a nuclear-fuelled carnival ride of terror, launching ...

Commonly seen velocity dispersion feature is marked with blue circles in lower energy range observed by Solar Orbiter, while the onset of inverse velocity particles is indicated with orange triangles ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists observed the first close-ups of a source of energetic particles expelled from the Sun, viewing them from just half an astronomical unit (AU), or about 46 ...

It’s the most energetic particle of its kind ever discovered, and scientists have no idea where it came from. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller studied neutrinos of much lower energies at the ...

Please join the Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology on Thursday, March 27, at 11am for a virtual seminar by Jamie S. Rankin, "Survey of Energetic Particles Viewed by Parker Solar Probe." ...

Astrophysicists have detected the most energetic electrons ever recorded raining down on Earth. With trillions of times the energy of visible light, these cosmic rays seem to be coming from a powerful ...

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are central features of solar activity that significantly influence space weather. SEPs are high‐energy particles expelled ...
