Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar physics is a dynamic and rapidly evolving discipline, offering profound insights into the Sun’s behavior, its complex interactions within the heliosphere, and its far-reaching influence on Earth’s space environment. Understanding these processes is crucial for addressing key scientific questions and mitigating the effects of space weather on modern technological systems, such as satellites, power grids, and communication networks.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in solar physics, spanning observational, theoretical, and computational research. We invite contributions that delve into solar activity, magnetic fields, coronal dynamics, solar wind, and their impacts on the heliosphere. Studies employing innovative techniques—such as high-resolution imaging, multi-wavelength observations, advanced numerical simulations, and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches—are particularly encouraged.
By highlighting novel methodologies and specific breakthroughs, such as improved solar flare forecasting models, refined coronal heating theories, and enhanced solar wind simulations, this Special Issue seeks to provide a platform for cutting-edge research. Submissions that explore the integration of observational data with predictive models to address unsolved problems in space weather forecasting and heliophysics are especially welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
