Unraveling the Fine‐Scale Tapestry of Solar Wind at 1AU
Abstract Solar wind is a complex network of distinct magnetic flux tubes, each contained and separated by a current sheet. In this study, more than 50,000 current sheets in the solar wind are identified and characterized for the first time, using multi‐point Cluster observations during solar minimum and maximum intervals.

A Comprehensive Approach to Pulse Modulation for Attitude Control with Thrusters Subject to Switching Restrictions [PDF]
A pulse modulation scheme based on two modulation curves is proposed for applications in spacecraft attitude control using thrusters which may be subject to switching restrictions.

Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Initial Phase of Geomagnetic Storms
Abstract Using simultaneous magnetic field observations from 10 satellites and an automated detection algorithm, we identify broad regions of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave activity during the initial phases of geomagnetic storms between September 2015 and October 2019.

Abstract Recently, Hua et al. (2026, https://doi.org/10.1029/2025GL120881) combined observations during a 4‐day storm period with numerical simulations and concluded that the abrupt electron loss in the field‐line‐curvature scattering (FLCS) region played a leading role in shaping the outer boundary of radiation belt (RB); the authors conjectured that ...

Abstract On 10 May 2024, Earth was hit by a CME that drove the largest geomagnetic storm in 20 years. Multi‐spacecraft observations previously showed that the ∼100 nT north‐south IMF bz ${b}_{z}$ variation was driven by Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves with wavelength ∼250 RE ${R}_{E}$ and reconnection jets in the ±z $\pm z$‐direction (Nykyri, 2024a, https://doi.
