Magnetic reconnection, a universal process that triggers solar flares and northern lights and can disrupt cell phone service and fusion experiments, occurs much faster than theory says that it should.
A new mission set to blast off for low-Earth orbit will study magnetic storms around the Earth and learn more about how they affect our atmosphere and satellites. NASA's Tandem Reconnection and Cusp ...
When the solar wind - which is really a driving rain of charged particles from the sun - strikes Earth's protective magnetic field, the shock generates roiling, turbulent magnetic fields that enshroud ...
analysis in the Nov. 4 issue of Physical Review Letters. Magnetic reconnection should occur wherever magnetic fields clash. As the fields try to bend around one another, the field lines break and ...
Using measurements of the four ESA’s Cluster satellites, a study published this week in Nature Physics shows pioneering experimental evidence of magnetic reconnection also in turbulent ‘plasma’ around ...
Magnetic reconnection is the primary process through which energy couples from the solar wind into Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. Conditions both in the incident solar wind and in the ...
Observations of the slip-running reconnection in active region 13107, as seen by the IRIS (inset) and the Solar Dynamics Observatory / Atmospheric Imaging Assembly instrument. The evolution of ...
