Researchers were able to replicate how solar flares form by creating banana-sized loops of plasma in a lab. The results show that the mini flares are an excellent proxy for studying the real things.

Scientists have created mini-coronal loops to simulate banana-sized solar flares in the lab to investigate how massive explosions on the sun's surface launch energetic particles and X-rays into space.

Incredibly rapid gas flares from a white dwarf binary star system have been detected for the first time by Oxford University scientists. The first sighting of such activity, it suggests that our ...
