Scientists believe the Sun’s magnetic field could reverse within our lifetime, a natural cycle that occurs roughly every 11 ...

The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

“When the magnetic energy content of the sun is a lot larger ... “You’re basically getting a glimpse at the machine,” he says. “And so you have to draw inference from the storms to ...

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is nearly 40 years in the making, and its most complex component is now ready for assembly.

Space scientists have not been able to exactly determine where the Sun's magnetic field originates. Most recently, researchers found these rotations could be much closer to the surface than previous ...

The “artificial sun” reactor ... with how today’s tokamaks build their magnetic fields. The extremely huge electromagnets used in these machines are key to tokamaks’ designs (ITER received ...

There are balls of dead matter no bigger than a city yet shining a hundred times brighter than the Sun that send out flares ... They have the strongest magnetic fields ever observed, so strong ...

In the computer-enhanced ultraviolet photo, you can see a model of the sun's magnetic-field lines swirling out of the star's surface the way they appeared on Aug. 10, 2018. Each white line ...

But what causes the solar wind to get so worked up every 11 years? Well, like Earth, the sun has a magnetic field, but it's extremely unstable. Because the sun is not a solid object, different ...
