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 ...

Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns. These structured light vortices, known as skyrmions, are highly stable and ...
