Syed Ayaz , a researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville , has published a paper in Scientific Reports that builds on an earlier first-of-its-kind study.

Kinetic Alfvén waves are oscillations of the charged particles and magnetic field as they move through solar plasma.

The study, also a first , further confirms that these electromagnetic phenomena—abundant throughout the plasma universe—could prove vital to unlocking the biggest mystery of heliophysics.

The findings could have practical applications in computational astrophysics and beyond, says University of Alabama researcher Syed Ayaz .

Ayaz: "This interdisciplinary applicability underscores the potential of our findings to advance not only theoretical plasma physics, but also its practical applications" The study was published in Scientific Reports ( 2024 ).
