Science for A New Era of Space Exploration

At NYU Abu Dhabi, researchers are exploring some of the universe’s most fundamental questions, advancing our understanding of the cosmos and helping shape the future of space exploration. As the UAE expands its ambitions through initiatives such as the Emirates Mars Mission and the UAE Space Strategy 2031, our research is contributing to the scientific foundations that will enable future discovery and innovation beyond Earth.

Understanding the Universe

Drawing on expertise in astrophysics, planetary science, and space research, our scientists investigate the forces and phenomena that govern the universe. Their work deepens our understanding of how galaxies form, how black holes behave, and what conditions might support life elsewhere in the cosmos.

Enabling Future Exploration

From studying the origins of the universe to exploring the potential habitability of other worlds, NYUAD researchers are generating discoveries that expand the frontiers of knowledge while supporting a nation investing in a new era of space exploration.

Scientists at NYU Abu Dhabi Detect Magnetic Waves Deep Within the Sun, Helping Predict Solar Activity

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have discovered new large-scale waves moving deep inside the Sun, driven by magnetic fields far below the surface. These waves provide a window into parts of the Sun that are otherwise inaccessible, giving scientists a new tool to study how its magnetic field is formed and evolves over time.

The Sun’s interior is a dynamic ocean of hot, electrically charged gas shaped by rotation and magnetic forces. These magnetic fields drive the solar cycle, sunspots, and powerful eruptions that can disrupt satellites, communications, and power grids on Earth. Until now, the magnetic behavior deep inside the Sun was largely hidden from observation.
