A stunning new high-definition simulation has revealed a look into Earth’s ‘turbulent’ core, shedding new light on the mechanisms that drive its magnetic field. While this field stretches ...

Investigating solar corona structures has led Paul Bellan, Caltech professor of applied physics, and his former graduate student Yang Zhang (Ph.D. '24) to discover a new equilibrium state of the ...

Overall, this simulation implies that the vigorously convecting granulation layer at the solar surface is very effective at expelling magnetic flux and pumping some of this flux into the ...

In recent research by scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a groundbreaking discovery was made about braided magnetic flux ropes, which are found both in laboratory ...

Known as magnetic flux ropes, coronal loops and solar prominences, these structures possess spiraling magnetic field lines, as if a huge bar magnet had been twisted into a corkscrew.
