Through analyzes of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found evidence of an extreme solar storm that occurred about 9,200 years ago. What puzzles the researchers is that the storm took place during one of the sun's more quiet phases – during which it is generally believed our planet is less exposed to such events. The sun is a prerequisite

Researchers at MultiPark have uncovered in mice how the protein TDP-43, known for its role in several neurodegenerative diseases, disrupts the hypothalamus, the brain’s key center for metabolic control. Their study sheds new light on the role of TDP-43 in metabolic and psychiatric symptoms shared across frontotemporal dementia, Huntington’s disease, and ALS – findings that could support the develo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Extensive power outages and satellite blackouts that affect air travel and the internet are some of the potential consequences of massive solar storms. These storms are believed to be caused by the release of enormous amounts of stored magnetic energy due to changes in the magnetic field of the sun’s outer atmosphere
