Scientists using NASA's Juno spacecraft have discovered a new plasma wave in Jupiter's auroras, offering fresh insight into ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have made a new discovery by observing and analyzing the first new ...

Researchers' analysis showed that the plasma waves have a very low frequency, unlike anything previously seen around Earth.

In a remarkable breakthrough, researchers from the University of Minnesota have uncovered a new type of plasma wave in ...

The experiment demonstrated that when Alfvén waves encounter regions of varying plasma density and magnetic field intensity, as they do in the solar atmosphere around coronal holes, they can be ...

Experimental Study of Alfvén Wave Reflection from an Alfvén-speed Gradient Relevant to the Solar Coronal Holes. The Astrophysical Journal, 2024; 971 (1): 72 DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad528f ...

The plasma wave sustained the amplified magnetic field for more than 30 minutes before dissipating. The work is based on a previous study by team members Rona Oran and Benjamin Weiss.

Electrons ride the crest of this plasma wave, gathering energy like a surfer on a wave in the ocean. The new result used a dual- laser system made possible by the completion of a second beamline ...

The plasma at Solar Orbiter was also a blazing 200,000 degrees Celsius, three times hotter than it should have been based on theoretical approximations. The Alfvén waves had dissipated in the ...

The observation is based on data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft, which made a historic low orbit flight over Jupiter’s north ...
