GLOWS - IMAP

Meet GLOWS on IMAP: The Polish‑Built UV “Photon Counter” That Just Launched to L1 – Here’s What It Will Reveal About the Solar Wind

Deep dive: GLOWS, the helioglow, and why IMAP needs it What problem does GLOWS solve? The Sun’s solar wind doesn’t blow uniformly. It varies with heliographic latitude (equator vs. poles) and evolves across the ~11‑year solar cycle, but we lack continuous, global

Viruses Are Building Better Batteries?! The Wild Science Turning M13 & TMV Into Power‑Packed Electrodes

Scientists have learned to reprogram viruses as nanoscale construction crews that “grow” battery parts in water at room temperature. Engineered M13 bacteriophages (which infect bacteria, not people) and plant viruses like tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) act as scaffolds that self‑assemble metal‑oxide nanowires
