Study Identifies Plasma Formation as a Pseudostreamer
ESA’s Solar Orbiter recorded a giant plasma structure extending millions of kilometres from the Sun’s surface. The footage, taken on October 12, 2022, shows a swirling motion in the solar wind, a phenomenon never observed before. Scientists identified the formation as a pseudostreamer caused by a solar flare near the Sun’s north pole. The pla...

Physicists Achieve Record-Breaking Electron Beam Power and Current at SLAC
Researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have set a new record by generating the highest-current, highest-peak-power electron beam ever recorded. The beam reached 100 kiloamps in just one quadrillionth of a second, achieved through advanced compression techniques and magnetic field manipulation. This breakthrough could have major implica...

Frontier Supercomputer Simulates Universe with Unmatched Complexity
The Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has conducted the most detailed universe simulation to date. Using the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project, the model incorporates dark matter, gas, and plasma interactions. With speeds reaching 1.4 exaFLOPS, ...

Tiny Plasma Jets on Sun Identified as Key Drivers of Solar Wind
Observations from ESA’s Solar Orbiter have revealed that tiny plasma jets, known as picoflares, are responsible for both the fast and slow components of the solar wind. The discovery challenges previous assumptions that different mechanisms drive these solar wind types. With further research, scientists hope to refine space weather predictions, p...

Unusual White Streaks in Northern Lights Raise Questions About Atmospheric Phenomenon
White streaks have been observed weaving through the northern lights, presenting a new atmospheric puzzle. Captured by the TREx mission, these eerie white glows appear alongside traditional red and green auroras or in areas where colourful displays have faded. The phenomenon is not considered an aurora, but its emission pattern shares similarities ...

New Supercomputer Set to Propel Electric Spacecraft Technology Forward
Electric propulsion technology, powered by ion engines, is gaining traction for its efficiency in space travel. However, challenges such as back-scattered electrons from the ion plume threaten spacecraft components like solar arrays and antennas. Recent research by scientists from the University of Virginia and the University of Southern California...

Astronomers Capture Supermassive Black Hole Plasma Jets at Birth
For the first time, plasma jets from a supermassive black hole have been observed in real time. Located 270 million light-years away in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, the jets traveled at one-third the speed of light. Emerging in 2024 after a radio flare in 2023, the jets broke through dense gas near the black hole, which has a mass 1.4 billion times that of...

M87 Black Hole: Turbulent Plasma Dynamics and Feeding Process Revealed
M87*, the supermassive black hole in Messier 87, continues to captivate astronomers. EHT observations from 2017 and 2018 revealed turbulence in the accretion flow, with the plasma ring’s brightest region shifting due to gas dynamics. The study also uncovered a counter-rotating gas spiral feeding mechanism, refining understanding of black hole fee...

Chorus Waves Found Far From Earth Raise Concerns for Space Exploration
Chorus waves, energetic electromagnetic bursts resembling bird chirps, have been detected 100,000 miles from Earth, far beyond their usual range. NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites observed these waves in a flatter region of Earth's magnetosphere, contradicting prior assumptions about their formation near strong magnetic gradients. The wav...
