lt;p gt;A study published in lt;em gt;The Astrophysical Journal Letters lt;/em gt; by an international team coordinated by Tahar Amari, CNRS research director at the Center for Theoretical Physics (CPHT*) at École Polytechnique, shows that twisted flux ropes (TFRs) are omnipresent in the Sun, even in its quietest regions. Their work, combining high-resolution observations and advanced simulations, explains how those TFRs help to heat the solar atmosphere to extreme temperatures. lt;/p gt; lt;p gt; lt;u gt;Article lt;/u gt;: The Ubiquity of Twisted Flux Ropes in the Quiet Sun, Tahar Amari et al., lt;em gt;The Astrophysical Journal Letters lt;/em gt;, March 2025: lt;a href= https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/adb74f target= _blank gt;https:/ lt;/a gt;... lt;/p gt;
