Earth just experienced a rare S4 solar radiation storm, the most intense since 2003 — powerful for satellites and astronauts, ...
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center classified the storm as S4 (severe).
Solar collectors and absorbers convert solar radiation into thermal energy, playing a crucial role in meeting global heating demands across various sectors.
Solar radiation storms erupt when the sun unleashes a magnetic fury, typically via a coronal mass ejection (CME).
Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have investigated the impact of electron irradiation on the performance of p-PERC, n-TOPCon and p-TOPCon solar cells and have ...
