New research shows that the Sun’s magnetic field originates near the surface and not deep within the star. . This upends decades of prevailing scientific thinking, which placed the field more than 130,000 miles below the surface of the sun. It also brings us closer to understanding the nature of the Sun’s magnetic field, which … Read more
A new higher-resolution infrared camera equipped with a variety of lightweight filters could examine sunlight reflected from Earth’s upper atmosphere and surface, improve forest fire warnings and reveal the molecular composition of other planets. The cameras use sensitive, high-resolution superlattice sensors originally developed at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, using IRAD, Internal … Read more
For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite years of research, this type of prosthesis is not widely used because it leads to rapid muscle fatigue and poor control. MIT researchers have developed a new approach that they hope … Read more

Scientists have found the possible origin of the sun‘s magnetic field, and it’s not where they thought it was. The discovery, made using complex computer simulations, suggests that the Sun’s magnetic field arises from instabilities in the plasma in the outer layers of the Sun’s surface, rather than deep within the star, as researchers previously … Read more
WASHINGTON – Reducing the time that satellites remain in orbit after the end of their missions is one of the most cost-effective ways to tackle the problem of orbital debris, a NASA report concludes. The report, released by NASA’s Office of Technology, Policy and Strategy on May 20, follows a March 2023 report that focused … Read more

Circular depressions about 500 feet wide off the coast of Central California are quite old and owe their longevity to sediment flows, new research shows. However, the original cause has yet to be discovered. The Sur Pockmark Field has puzzled oceanographers since its discovery in 1998. More than 5,000 shallow circular depressions are packed into … Read more
