The Sun’s outer atmosphere may have a dust problem—and that dust might be heating it up. A new study suggests that tiny charged grains near the Sun can change how energy moves through the corona, the ...

Charged cosmic dust may play a key role in heating the solar corona, which explains why the sun's outer atmosphere is hundreds of times hotter than its surface. This was reported by the Science X news ...

The achievement shows kinetic energy from charged exhaust particles can be converted into useful electricity, but it's still not a working commercial reactor.

This question has stumped scientists for decades, and the answer may have been hiding in plain sight.

One of the biggest unanswered questions in solar physics may have gained an unexpected new lead. Researchers analyzing ...

A researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has published a new study in The Astrophysical Journal suggesting that tiny charged dust ...

A University at Buffalo physicist has received two U.S. Department of Defense grants totaling $1.1 million to study the quantum dynamics that could help advance neutral-atom quantum computing.

A philosopher has put forward an argument for rethinking how particles are defined within the standard model of particle ...
