An Acoustic Model for Sunquakes Unifying the Solar Interior and Atmosphere
One of the leading hypotheses for sunquake generation suggests that flare-accelerated particles originating from the reconnection site in the corona travel down to the chromosphere and photosphere, where they deposit energy through collisions and subsequently drive acoustic oscillations. To properly encompass this top-down excitation mechanism, we extend the domain of a semi-spectral 3D acoustic model of the global Sun up to several 10's of Mm above the photosphere, where the transition region …

Sigh. Paging Sam Altman.

AI hype cycles appear to go hot and cold every few years, it is also rife with valuable teaching moments. For example, a news story like this would not be out of place in the present: The Navy revealed the embryo of an electronic computer today that it expects will be able to walk, talk, see, write, reproduce itself and be conscious of its existence.

Five preoccupied to protect the human ecosystem 4/5

Independence means that scientists ensure that their research is unbiased by AI companies agendas, and that any potential conflicts of interest are declared in publications and other public communications (this also follows from Honesty and Transparency; cf. Mohamed Abdalla and Moustafa Abdalla 2021; Atkin 2025; Forbes and Guest 2025; Knoester et al. 2025).

Five principles to protect the human knowledge ecosystem 5/5

Responsibility precludes scientists from using AI products whose use is irresponsible, e.g. harmful to people, animals, and the environment, or otherwise in violation of legal guidelines (e.g. copyright, data privacy, labour laws, Butterick 2025; Cole 2025; Rijo 2025; Tafani 2024a). Minimizing harm is vital for both engineers (ACM Code 2018 Task Force 2018) and theoreticians (Guest 2024).
