Like giant slingshots, magnetic ropes on the sun fling billions of tons of solar matter out into space, researchers revealed today at a Royal Astronomical Society meeting in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

在今天英国格拉斯哥的皇家天文社会会议上，研究人员透露，太阳上的磁绳就像巨大的弹弓一样，发射着数十亿吨重的太阳物质进入宇宙空间。

Most of the challenge, as we often see for solar cells, is just a matter of improving the energy conversion rate.

ENGADGET: All-carbon solar cell draws power from near-infrared light, our energy future is literally that much brighter

Besides being a useful source of dark matter, it may explain the solar-neutrino deficit (the gap between prediction and observation would be caused by a different mutation, from electron neutrinos into undetectable tau neutrinos).
