That creates cosmic undulations known as Alfvén waves that launch electrons at high speeds into Earth's atmosphere where they create the aurora. Sponsor Message "It was sort of theorized that ...

Data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter suggest that plasma waves known as Alfvén waves inject energy into the solar wind as it leaves the sun’s ...

Discovery of Alfvén waves in the corona of the Sun Date: August 1, 2011 Source: Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Summary: For the very first time, powerful Alfvén waves -- magnetic plasma waves ...

A team of heliophysicists have now found compelling evidence that energy-packed plasma waves known as Alfvén waves are capable of pumping enough energy into streams of solar wind to propel them ...

New experiments have shown the source of the aurora borealis. Researchers have demonstrated Alfvén waves accelerating electrons under conditions that correspond to Earth’s magnetosphere.

The Role of Alfvén Waves in Solar Wind Dynamics For decades, scientists have sought to understand how the solar wind, which originates from the Sun's corona, continues to accelerate and maintain ...

One way that these alpha particles can escape the fusion chamber prematurely is by exciting high frequency Alfvén waves and riding these waves to the vessel walls, like a surfer rides a wave to ...

"Measurements revealed this small population of electrons undergoes 'resonant acceleration' by the Alfven wave's electric field, similar to a surfer catching a wave and being continually ...

Prior research has shown that as the solar wind arrives, Alfvén waves are generated and the resulting energy heats up the ...
