The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...

The team generated a precise model of the sun's surface and found that when they simulated certain perturbations, or changes in the flow of plasma (ionized gas) within the top 5–10% of the sun, these ...

In van der Waals layered structures, when two adjacent layers have small lattice mismatch and nearly aligned crystalline directions, the interlayer atomic registry will vary periodically on a length ...

An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures. Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle ...
