I suspect this request is a tuffy.

Can anyone identify the story by title and author (and publication)
from the following:

It was written and published prior to 1949 for I had a copy in 1948
or late 1947.
It was probably a novelette or long short story.
It involved a mining operation <in> the sun.
Ships were able to penetrate the sun by a field which somehow polarized
the molecules (atoms?) of both ship and sun allowing those of the ship
to "slip" between those of the sun. That's all I remember except that 
the story involved one trip into the sun and back out. Something
unusual happened there,but I haven't the foggiest idea what anymore.
It was most likely something from Planet Stories, or TWS, or SS (needless
to say, not the Big A).
I have a special reason to recall this story so I would much appreciate
any help.  Thanks in advance!  I know you can do it!
