Researchers in Malaysia designed a photovoltaic-thermal system that can be used in solar drying, space heating, rooftop systems, and off-grid thermal applications. It relies on a double-pass cooling ...

Supergranular-scale solar convection not explained by mixing-length theory. Nature Astronomy, 2024; DOI: 10.1038/s41550-024-02304-w ...

The sun generates energy in its core through nuclear fusion; that energy is then transported to the surface, where it escapes as sunlight. In the study “Supergranular-scale solar convection not ...

We had never before seen details on the Sun at such a scale. The striations are stripe-like features that form on the edges of granules, the solar convection cells that appear on the Sun’s surface.

A team of solar physicists has released a new study shedding light on the fine-scale structure of the sun's surface. Using the unparalleled power of the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, built and ...

A team of solar physicists at NYU Abu Dhabi’s Center for Astrophysics and Space Science (CASS), led by Research Scientist Chris S. Hanson, Ph.D., has revealed the interior structure of the sun ...

These motions, more commonly referred to as convection, are the ultimate source of the solar cycle and magnetic activity of stars. Furthermore, convection occurs in some evolutionary phase of ...
