Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, ...

Researchers in Australia have created a laser-based test to observe UV degradation and recovery in silicon solar cells.

Researchers report that gold nanospheres, named supraballs, can absorb nearly all wavelengths in sunlight — including some ...

Some solar flares can result in coronal mass ejections (CMEs) – huge plumes of plasma blown off the sun's corona and into ...

From a distance, the sleek black bench in front of the White Plains Public Library on Martine Avenue looks like just another ...

The ESA's Solar Orbiter has discovered that solar flares act like avalanches, growing from weak disturbances into powerful ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...

Muddy conditions and the threat of rain did not deter attendees at the Science and Technology (S&T) Day Demonstration.

Solar flares have an enormous impact on the wider Solar System. These sudden releases of energy can cause geomagnetic storms ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...
