flag China launches AIMS, the world’s first mid-infrared solar magnetic-field telescope, boosting solar storm prediction.

flag China has launched AIMS, the world’s first solar magnetic-field telescope operating in the mid-infrared spectrum, now officially operational in Qinghai Province at 4,000 meters elevation. flag It enables high-precision, direct measurements of solar magnetic fields—key to predicting solar flares and coronal mass ejections that can disrupt Earth’s technology. flag Developed since 2015 with fully domestic components, AIMS achieves accuracy exceeding 10 gauss and has captured mid-infrared flare data, advancing solar physics and space weather forecasting capabilities.
