On Feb. 2, a massive tentacle of plasma snapped apart in the sun's atmosphere before tumbling down, circling the star's north pole at thousands of miles a minute, and then disappearing — leaving ...
For the first time, scientists have 'photographed' a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into ...
A plume of "dark plasma" is heading toward Earth after being burped out by the sun. This coronal mass ejection (CME) was flung out from a long magnetic filament on the sun's surface and is set to ...
The research team of the State Key Laboratory of Precision Spectroscopy at East China Normal University has made significant progress in the field of ultra-fast laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy ...
A mysterious region near the center of the Milky Way has captured the attention of astronomers. Known as Sagittarius C, this strange place holds thousands of newborn stars, huge clouds of gas, and ...
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid chemical analysis technology that has been well developed for trace element analyses in gases, liquids, and solids. It uses a high-power laser ...
Staring at the Sun is generally a bad idea. But with the help of the world’s largest solar telescope, scientists have set their sights on the blinding face of Earth’s closest star for several years, ...
