Turbulence is ubiquitous and occurs every day, for example when milk is mixed with coffee or during the stormy movements of the ocean and the atmosphere. Environments in space and astrophysics systems can also develop turbulences, but physics is different because the environment is in an ionized state [...]
In the chaotic plasma of the solar wind there is a previously overlooked order. Measurement data of the space probe Parker Solar Probe show that magnetic fluctuations preferably rotate opposite depending on spatial size. With growing solar distance this pattern shifts to larger structures. The observation could help explain how turbulence develops in almost shock-free space plasma. Braunschweig (Germany). The solar wind is [...] The article Surp…
Hidden Order Emerges in Solar Wind Chaos as Scientists Detect Reversal of
An international research team using NASA's Parker Solar Probe data has discovered a reversal in the rotation sense of magnetic fields in solar wind turbulence, revealing hidden structure at the boundary between fluid-like and particle-like plasma dynamics.
