The banana-size solar flares could lead to a better understanding of high-energy solar physics.
and try to see coronal loops in detail, or they can attempt to simulate them in the lab. In the new research, Paul Bellan, a professor of applied physics at Caltech, and his team took the latter approach.
Despite the coronal loops' small size and fleeting nature, their structure is identical to that of genuine coronal loops, thus allowing them to be studied up close. The experiment allowed the team to observe the rope-like structure of the solar coronal loops, and they think this structure could be key to the generation of energetic particles and X-ray bursts.
