Researchers have developed a new approach using the concept of “magnetic trees” to uncover previously hidden flows in the Sun’s upper atmosphere. The study provides fresh insights into the complex behaviour of the Sun’s magnetic fields and the movement of hot plasma through its outer atmospheric layers.   The researchers examined the intricate structures formed by magnetic fields, which can be visualised as branching patterns resembling the roots and branches of a tree. By studying these magnetic structures, scientists were able to trace the movement of material and identify flows…
