New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) researchers harness artificial intelligence for unprecedented insights into conditions in the Sun’s lower atmosphere driving some of the solar system’s most powerful explosions, capable of disrupting critical infrastructure on Earth. NJIT researchers have been awarded a $593,864 National Science Foundation grant to develop a new AI system for more quickly and accurately predicting when explosive space weather events on the Sun will strike, from solar flares to coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
