Tiny ‘solar flares’ recreated in the lab may explain corona mystery

With powerful lasers and a tiny piece of plastic, researchers have for the first time emulated a violent process that may take place on the sun. The experiment could help shed light on why the outermost layer of the sun’s atmosphere is so mysteriously hot. For decades, scientists have struggled to explain why the sun’s outer atmospheric layers – a region called the corona – are thousands of times hotter than the sun’s surface, reaching several millions of degrees.
