A study has claimed to have found a link between solar activity and a rise in heart attacks. Carried out at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), the study looked at health records from ...

Solar activity has been on an overall decline since the ‘80s and scientists were expecting us to plunge into a historic low ...

New findingspublished in The Astrophysical Journal Letterssuggest that solar flares—massive explosions of energy in the Sun’s atmosphere—may be up to 6.5 times hotter than scientists previously ...

Solar flares heat ions much more strongly than electrons. The finding offers a new explanation for spectral line broadening. Recent work from the Andrews suggests that particles in solar flares can ...

“We were excited by recent discoveries that a process called magnetic reconnection heats ions 6.5 times as much as electrons, ...

Have you seen the Northern Lights? They're more than just pretty colors; when you see them in Pittsburgh, there's science ...

This is the conclusion of researchers from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, who found that the positively charged ions in solar flares—one of the two key components of solar plasma—can be ...

Research by university scientists suggests that solar flares may be far hotter than previously believed, offering new insights into the Sun’s behavior. The findings, recently published in the ...

A first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence system built by Nasa in collaboration with IBM can predict violent solar storms ...

Our sun has unexpectedly begun to ramp up its activity, which could lead to more severe solar storms that cause blackouts and ...

Scientists at the University of St Andrews discovered ions in solar flares can hit 60 million°C—6.5 times hotter than thought ...
