which requires huge amounts of energy to maintain a magnetic field with electromagnets, the new method for enriching stable isotopes, called MAGIS (magnetically activated and guided isotope separation), needs little energy due to its use of low-powered lasers and permanent magnets.

##Dynamo accounts for Sun s weather cycle University of Chicago University of Leeds rightoriginal Studyposted by Richard Mellor-Leeds on May 23 2013u.
what drives the generation of astrophysical magnetic fields like the Sun s. Scientists have known since the 18th century that the Sun regularly oscillates between periods of high and low solar activity in an 11-year cycle
It has become increasingly important to be able to understand the Sun#s magnetic activity as it is the changes in its magnetic field that are responsible for#space weather#phenomena including solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
The research published in Nature explains how the cyclical nature of these large-scale magnetic fields emerges providing a solution to the mathematical equations governing fluids and electromagnetism for a large astrophysical body.
The mechanism known as a dynamo builds on a solution to a reduced set of equations first proposed in the 1950s
#Previously dynamos for large highly conducting bodies such as the Sun would be overwhelmed by small-scale fluctuations in the magnetic field.
In addition this mechanism could be used to describe other large spinning astronomical bodies with large-scale magnetic fields such as galaxies.
The dynamo was developed through simulations using the high-performance computing facilities located at the University of Leeds.#The fact that it took 50 years
and huge supercomputers shows how complicated the dynamo process really is#says Professor Fausto Cattaneo of the University of Chicago#s department of astronomy and astrophysics.
At the start of the 20th century it was recognized then that these sunspots were the result of the Sun#s magnetic field.

For decades, researchers have suspected that powerful magnetic fields are heating the corona. The Sun's atmosphere is just jam-packed full of magnetic field,
says Cirtain. As the lines of those fields cross and twirl, the theory went, they push and pull the charged gas in the corona, giving it the energy that heats it up.
The problem is that nobody has been able to see the magnetic fields in close up until now. Cirtain and his team have developed the High-resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C

when the movement of the wind's particles is perpendicular to the sun's magnetic field they resemble a fluid with sections that are smooth interrupted by bursts of violence.
which can cause plasma to escape the magnetic field containing it in the reactor. They may also be able to use turbulence to disrupt high energy plasma blobs that can rip holes in the reactor.
Magnetic field lines threading through those shells should get compressed and aligned causing some of the material to line up as well.
And Jupiter's strong magnetic field means that intense radiation surrounds the moon which makes it difficult for spacecraft to operate.
But sometimes the sun's magnetic field lines can directly link up with Earth's in a process called magnetic reconnection which opens up cracks in the magnetosphere.
and the resulting plasma becomes trapped by magnetic fields in a doughnut-shaped ring around the planet.
This would make it harder for magnetic field lines to meet up and spark further reconnection. But while ground-based measurements can see a plume forming their resolution isn't good enough to tell for sure

Melanie Gonick/MIT Instead she and Zhu chose to manufacture an array of microscopic pillars that uniformly tilt in response to a magnetic field.
The researchers exposed the material to an external magnetic field placing it between two large magnets
which tilted toward the angle of the magnetic field. We can apply the field in any direction
Under a magnetic field the liquid only flowed in the direction in which the pillars tilted
In principle she says more complex magnetic fields could be designed to create intricate tilting patterns throughout an array.
