Astronomers have captured videos of the sun without the typical blur caused by turbulence in Earth's atmosphere ...

The challenge in the search for habitable worlds is clear. We need to be able to identify habitable worlds and distinguish ...

Scientists reveal the clearest images of the Sun’s corona using a new adaptive optics system, opening new paths for solar ...

This phenomenon, known as coronal rain, occurs when superheated plasma in the corona cools, condenses, and falls back along magnetic field lines towards the Sun’s surface. These streams, along with ...

Detailed images of the sun's corona have been hampered by turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere. Adaptive optics now make it possible to compensate for this.

New technology called the coronal adaptive optics system has captured the most detailed view of the Sun's outer atmosphere.

Atmospheric optics is a branch of optics and photonics that studies how light behaves in the Earth’s atmosphere. This can include both understanding naturally occurring effects involving ...

Amazed skiers thought they discovered a portal to another dimension when they saw a flame-shaped atmospheric phenomenon known as a "subsun" or "sun candle" this week at SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser in ...

China’s artificial sun, known as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), burned for over 1000 seconds, creating a new record for the scientist working on the project.

China has made another significant advancement in its nuclear fusion research with the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the country’s “artificial sun.” ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion energy reactor, dubbed China's 'artificial sun' sustained plasma for a whopping 1,000 seconds, breaking the 403-second record it set ...
