What is a quiescent-current sheet? How these sheets separate plasma in space. Main sources of harmful radiation from space particles in electronics. In the cold, dark void of space, we find an amazing ...

The sun’s magnetic field spins opposite directions on the north and south poles. These oppositely pointing magnetic fields are separated by a layer of current called the “heliospheric current sheet.” ...

An SwRI-led study identified particles accelerated to extremely high energies by magnetic reconnection near the Sun. As NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (trajectory shown in green) crossed the heliospheric ...

You won't be able to see it, but it might affect the Earth's climate -- the sun's magnetic field is going through a big change. According to NASA, measurements taken from its supported observatories ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Conference Description: Electric currents are fundamental to the structure and dynamics of space plasmas, including our own near-Earth space environment (also called “geospace”). This recognition is ...
