Published Solar activity research provides insight into sun's past, future
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have developed a new technique for looking at historic solar data to distinguish trustworthy observations from those that should be used with care. This work is critical to understanding the sun's past and future as well as whether solar activity plays a role in climate change.
Published Magnetic reconnection in space: Experiment and satellite sightings
(via sciencedaily.com) New research describes striking similarity of laboratory research findings with observations of the four-satellite Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission that studies magnetic reconnection in space.
Published Harvesting renewable energy from the sun and outer space at the same time
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that heat from the sun and coldness from outer space can be collected simultaneously with a single device. Their research suggests that devices for harvesting solar and space energy will not compete for land space and can actually help each other function more efficiently.
Published Magnetic pumping pushes plasma particles to high energies
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The solar wind is not a calm summer breeze. Instead, it is a roiling, chaotic mess of turbulence and waves. There is a lot of energy stored in this turbulence, so scientists have long thought that it heats the solar wind. However, the heating expected from turbulence is not the heating observed. Scientists now have a new idea about what heats the solar wind, a theory called magnetic pumping.
Published School students identify sounds caused by solar storm
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source School students have successfully identified sounds caused by a solar storm in the Earth's magnetic shield. The group of students identified a series of waves whose pitch decreased over the course of several days. They found that this event occurred after a Coronal Mass Ejection or 'solar storm' caused a great disturbance to Earth's space environment.
Published Satellites more at risk from fast solar wind than a major space storm
(via sciencedaily.com) Satellites are more likely to be at risk from high-speed solar wind than a major geomagnetic storm according to a new study.
