In this study, we show how to use Metal Inert Gas butt-welding to its full potential by optimising the geometry of the weld beads. The poor quality of welding, which is affected by several factors ...

Solar flares are bursts of radiation from the sun’s surface, sometimes followed by a bubble of magnetized plasma particles called a coronal mass ejection (CME). If they happen to spray out in ...

An international team, including an Oregon State University astrophysicist, has confirmed a 19-year-old theory on solar flare formation by observing “slip-running” reconnections of the sun’s magnetic ...
