Weeks before Germany's elections, a heated immigration debate inflamed by a deadly knife attack triggered a political earthquake Wednesday when conservative parties for the first time cooperated with ...

A superflare is an exceptionally powerful electromagnetic emission from a star, releasing energy equivalent to a trillion hydrogen bombs, far beyond the solar flares recorded to date. Figure 1 - ...

Researchers analyzed SDO footage of the coronal loops preceding 50 solar flares. This video shows the flickering in a loop from 2011 in four different wavelengths of ultraviolet. (Image credit ...

China's "artificial sun"—formally known as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), and based in Hefei—maintained steady-state, high-confinement plasma operation for 17 ...

Nuclear fusion, which is the source of the energy released from the Sun is considered the ultimate energy source even on Earth.

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), commonly known as China’s "artificial sun," has achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement ...

Construction of a giant celestial solar farm is underway in China, with a scale comparable to creating a "Three Gorges Dam project above the Earth". The solar farm, which would be launched into ...

Intense solar flares—sudden bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun—can shoot out hazardous levels of energy strong enough to reach Earth’s atmosphere. Predicting solar flares, ...

Brightness changes in coronal loops may predict solar flares Study improves forecasting with 60–80% accuracy 2–6 hours before events Findings could protect space missions and terrestrial technologies ...
