New paper in @physrevx.bsky.social from Jack McIntyre @qmspaceplasma.bsky.social, providing evidence from #ParkerSolarProbe for the existence of the helicity barrier in the solar wind, which may alter how turbulence heats space and astrophysical plasmas journals.aps.org/prx/abstract...

Evidence for the Helicity Barrier from Measurements of the Turbulence Transition Range in the Solar Wind

Data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe reveal that a barrier to the transfer of energy often forms in the solar wind, limiting energy reaching small scales and helping explain why solar wind protons are ...
