1. NASA's IRIS spots nanojets: Shining light on heating the solar corona
   Researchers report the first ever clear images of nanojets -- bright thin lights that travel perpendicular to the magnetic structures in the solar atmosphere, called the corona -- in a process that reveals the existence of one of the potential coronal heating candidates: nanoflares.

   
2. Researcher analyzes the use of solar energy at US airports
   By studying 488 public airports in the United States, researchers found that 20% of them have adopted solar photovoltaic (PV), commonly known as solar panels, over the last decade.

   
3. Comet discovered to have its own northern lights
   Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has its own far-ultraviolet aurora, data reveal. It is the first time such electromagnetic emissions in the far-ultraviolet have been documented on a celestial object other than a planet or moon.

   
4. A link between sensory neurons activation and the immune system
   Scientists have developed an implantable technology that enabled the discovery of an interaction between sensory neurons and immune cells.

   
5. Researchers discover new molecules for tracking Parkinson's disease
   New research describes an innovative method for identifying molecules that can help track the progression of Parkinson's disease. This proof-of-concept study could change the paradigm for how researchers screen and test new molecules for studying a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases.
