WASHINGTON, March 7 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory issued the following news:
Energetic electrons from a powerful process that underlies solar flares -- explosive bursts of plasma particles that can disrupt satellites, cell phone service and powerlines on Earth -- have been detected for the first time by an experiment by researchers at the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Pr . . .
