Magnetic reconnection driven by electron dynamics [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Magnetic reconnection is the process of releasing energy by magnetized and space plasma. Here the authors report experimental observation of magnetic reconnection in laser-produced plasma and the role of electron scaling on reconnection.

The reversibility of magnetic reconnection [PDF]
Physics of Plasmas, 2021 The reversibility of the transfer of energy from the magnetic field to the surrounding plasma during magnetic reconnection is examined. Trajectories of test particles in an analytic field model demonstrate that irreversibility is associated with separatrix crossings and passages through regions of weaker magnetic field.

Magnetic reconnection in the era of exascale computing and multiscale experiments [PDF]
Nature Reviews Physics, 2022 Astrophysical plasmas have the remarkable ability to preserve magnetic topology, which inevitably gives rise to the accumulation of magnetic energy within stressed regions including current sheets. This stored energy is often released explosively through

First-principles theory of the rate of magnetic reconnection in magnetospheric and solar plasmas [PDF]
Communications Physics, 2022 The rate of magnetic reconnection is of the utmost importance in a variety of processes because it controls, for example, the rate energy is released in solar flares, the speed of the Dungey convection cycle in Earth’s magnetosphere, and the energy ...
