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

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

“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 ...

This week, a dramatic event occurred on the Sun when a massive solar filament erupted, releasing a surge of material across ...

the same phenomenon that powers the sun, than it takes to achieve and sustain those reactions. By some point in 2025, the scientists at Commonwealth Fusion Systems expect, their machine will blow ...

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 ...

the energetic reaction that powers stars like our Sun. Tokamaks constrain the plasma by generating very strong magnetic fields, hence the importance of ITER’s Central Solenoid. ITER is dedicated ...

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 ...

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 ...
