Nanoflare
Videos
A nanoflare is a very small episodic heating event which could be prolific in the corona, the external atmosphere of the Sun. These would blend together to give the appearance of continuous heating.

Alfvén wave
Videos
In plasma physics, an Alfvén wave, named after Hannes Alfvén, is a type of plasma wave in which ions oscillate in response to a restoring force provided by an effective tension on the magnetic field l
Magnetic waves, called Alfvén S-waves, flow from the base of black hole jets.
