Researchers have made a major leap in solar physics by finding the first direct evidence of small-scale torsional Alfvén waves within the Sun’s corona. These elusive magnetic waves, first theorized in the 1940s, have long been suspected to play a key role in heating the Sun’s outer atmosphere. The findings,Continue Reading
Scientists at NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can forecast solar wind speeds up to four days in advance, significantly more accurately than current methods. The study is published in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. Solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particlesContinue Reading
Selecting the right spot to smash a spacecraft into the surface of a hazardous asteroid to deflect it must be done with great care, according to new research presented at the EPSC-DPS2025 Joint Meeting this week in Helsinki. Slamming into its surface indiscriminately runs the risk of knocking the asteroidContinue Reading
Just as overlapping ripples on a pond can amplify or cancel each other out, waves of many kinds — including light, sound and atomic vibrations — can interfere with one another. At the quantum level, this kind of interference powers high-precision sensors and could be harnessed for quantum computing. InContinue Reading
Previously described as playing astronomical ‘spot the difference,’ Kilonova Seekers asks the public to compare the latest images of a section of night sky to an image of the same section of space taken on previous nights. Their goal – to spot new stars or significant changes in light intensityContinue Reading
Researchers have developed a new coronagraph — an optical device that blocks out light from a bright source — that could make it possible to see distant exoplanets obscured by light from their parent stars. The new device could reveal exoplanets beyond our solar system that today’s telescopes cannot resolve,Continue Reading
Biologists and chemists have a new programming language to uncover previously unknown environmental pollutants at breakneck speed — without requiring them to code. By making it easier to search massive chemical datasets, the tool has already identified toxic compounds hidden in plain sight. Mass spectrometry data is like a chemicalContinue Reading
Spencer Platt/Getty Images News Tesla’s (TSLA) been in vogue on the Interactive Brokers (IBKR) trading platform, with a recent surge in the electric vehicle maker’s stock price drawing attention away from AI chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA). Shares of Tesla (TSLA) on Tuesday cemented their 10th consecutive win, and the “straight upContinue Reading
