On the Nature of the Bright Front of Solar Coronal Mass Ejections by Hongqiang Song, Rui Wang, Leping Li, Bing Wang, Yao Chen

“…A new explanation has been proposed on the nature of the three-part (bright core, dark cavity, and bright front) structure of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). It suggests that the bright front originates from the plasma pileup along the overlying coronal loops rather than the boundary of the magnetic flux rope at the early eruption stage. …”

Physicochemical and sensory properties of honey powder from different climatic regions by Mona Vosoghi, Shima Yousefi, Masoud Honarvar

“…The conversion of honey into powder through spray drying led to a notable increase in hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), attributed to the high processing temperatures, and a significant decline in diastase activity, likely due to the presence of maltodextrin, which interferes with enzymatic activity, likely through dilution and structural modifications. Additionally, TA, sucrose, reducing sugars, MC, and color indices (a and b) experienced significant reduction (P < 0.05), while pH and lightness (L) increased. …”
