NASA’s IRIS Reveals the Heating Mechanism of Solar Corona

Scientists have recently described the first ever distinct images of nanojets (bright thin lights that move in a perpendicular direction to the magnetic structures in the Sun’s atmosphere, known as the corona) in a process that exposes the presence of one of the promising coronal heating candidates: nanoflares.

Researchers Detect Distinctive Signature of Black Holes

An international group of astrophysicists has discovered unique signatures of black hole event horizon, unquestionably differentiating them from neutron stars—objects, similar to black holes in terms of size and mass but confined inside a hard surface.

Scientists Test DUNE Detector for Thorough Test Drives

Hosted by Fermilab, the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, or DUNE for short, is anticipated to be very huge. As a matter of fact, with over 1,000 collaborators from above 30 nations and five continents, the event is the greatest international science project to be hosted in the United States.
