A team of scientists have successfully carried out regular measurements of the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere for the first time – giving us a much better understanding of the magnetic field within this region, known as the solar corona.
The Sun’s magnetic field plays a key role in shaping its atmosphere, with activity such as solar eruptions and the heating of the corona to millions o

Northumbria University has once again been recognised as one of the top universities in the UK after being awarded the title of Modern University of the Year 2025 by The Times and The Sunday Times.
In this article originally written for The Conversation*, from Northumbria University, Associate Professor Matthew Pound, and PhD candidate in the Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Jessica McCoy, discuss the change in UK climate.
Studies to improve the way we monitor and test for lead poisoning in children and communicate data through sound have been awarded more than £1.1 million through a new UKRI funding scheme announced today.
Since the 1960s, astronomers have wondered how the Sun’s supersonic “solar wind,” a stream of energetic particles that flows out into the Solar System, continues to receive energy once it leaves the Sun. Now, thanks to a fortunate line up of two spacecraft currently in space studying the Sun, they may have discovered the answer.
Judges at the North East Business Awards have named Professor John Woodward as the Business Person of the Year for Northumberland and Tyneside for his work to develop the new North East Space Skills and Technology Centre at Northumbria University.
As thousands of students await their A-level results on Thursday 15 August, Northumbria University is offering advice and support for those wondering what their next steps should be.
A project led by Northumbria University aims to convert banana waste into green textiles and energy in rural Pakistan. The innovative two-part system will provide electricity to off-grid communities and reduce environmental impact. The project, funded by Innovate UK, has the potential to benefit communities worldwide.
Ground Penetrating Radar software developed by academics at the universities of Northumbria, Edinburgh and Aberdeen has been chosen by technology giant, Google, to be part of its prestigious Summer of Code mentor scheme for the fourth time.
Researchers and designers from Northumbria University have joined forces with English Heritage to launch a new exhibition at an historic Northumberland priory.
Major differences in the way that Antarctica’s ice sheets formed millions of years ago could be the reason why ice is melting faster today than predicted, especially in West Antarctica, an international research team has discovered. The surprising findings, detailed in unique geological sediment samples from drill cores, provide insights into when and where today’s Antarctic ice sheets formed.
Visitors to Newcastle's Life Science Centre can participate in a study to help astronauts on the Artemis Moon exploration program. By applying K-tape to astronauts’ ankles, it is believed balance on the Moon's surface can be improved. Results will be shared with the European Space Agency. Northumbria University is leading space innovation.
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal surprising activity in Jupiter's ionosphere above the Great Red Spot. Scientists have discovered intricate structures and unexpected small-scale activity caused by gravity waves from the massive storm. This new insight challenges previous understanding of Jupiter's upper atmosphere.
An Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture and Built Environment at Northumbria University has co-authored a new handbook which aims to demystify the route into the architecture profession for learners.
Northumbria University academics have secured funding for research projects that could revolutionise communication. One project aims to provide internet to underserved areas using lasers and satellites, while another involves transmitting data to devices through LED lights. The university continues to lead in optical wireless technology research.
Scientists using data from the Solar Orbiter spacecraft have made progress in understanding the origins of the 'slow' solar wind, shedding light on how it forms and leaves the Sun. This research helps explain the variability and complexity of the solar wind, providing new insights into its behavior and composition.
