New Delhi: A novel theory by three Indian scientists has paved way to unlock the mysteries of the ionhole structures - a localized plasma region where the ion density is lower than the surrounding plasma. Harikrishnan Aravindakshan, Prof. Amar Kakad, and Prof. Bharati Kakad from the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG), an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology, have developed thetheory. Prof. Peter Yoon of the University of Maryland, USA also joined the Indian scientists. The theory solves every bit of uncertainty regarding the conflict between the observations from Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission. It’s a NASA robotic…
