HUNTSVILLE, Alabama, Nov. 15 (TNSres) -- The University of Alabama issued the following news:
Syed Ayaz, a researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), has published a paper in Scientific Reports that builds on an earlier first-of-its-kind study that examined kinetic Alfven waves (KAW) as a possible explanation for why the solar corona, the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, is approximately 200 times hotter than the surface of the sun itself. The new study, al . . .
