The convection cells are much bigger, and much slower moving, than other structures previously spotted on the Sun. Data from NASA’s orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) show solar plasma ...

In this activity from Lawrence Hall of Science, you’ll use hot and cold water to see how fluids at different temperatures move around in convection currents ... This process forms convection cells ...

"The way they have collected suggests they have moved or floated like icebergs with the convection current. If this is true ... through known ratios of width to depth for individual cells of ...

Researchers have proposed that the polygons seen in the images could be individual Rayleigh--Bénard convection cells. On Pluto ... icebergs with the convection current. If this is true, we ...

Scientists have fully mapped convection cells in Earth’s magnetic field for the first time using Cluster data. Results show that the behaviour of the cells is heavily linked to solar activity.

As the centre of thecells fall away, the points at which three of more cells converge areoften ... are drawnalong in the plain's powerful convection currents. The cellular divides are believed ...

A detailed example of a light bridge crossing a sunspot’s umbra. In this picture, the presence of convection cells surrounding the sunspot is also evident. Hot solar material (plasma ...

Despite the huge area covered by the image, features as small as 30 km can be resolved. The granular structures in the image are convection cells, which are each about the size of the US state of ...

The new PIONIER image of π1 Gruis reveals enormous granules, or convection cells that each span roughly 120 million km (75 million miles) across.In these cells, plasma (the stuff of stars) is ...

The authors of the current study noted ... co-director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and co-author of the paper. “Convection-enhanced macroencapsulation may well be a viable approach ...
