Comparison of Magnetospheric Multiscale ion jet signatures with predicted reconnection site locations at the magnetopause

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
Magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause is the primary process by which solar wind plasma and energy gains access to the magnetosphere. One indication that magnetic reconnection is occurring is the observation of accelerated plasma as a jet ...

Spatial Distributions of Energetic Electrons and Energetic Ions in the Tail Reconnection Region: Cluster Observations and PIC Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract High‐energy particles are prevalent in space, and magnetic reconnection is one of the physical processes responsible for their generation. The heating and acceleration of ions and electrons typically occur respectively in the ion diffusion region and the electron diffusion region.

MAVEN Observations of the Interloop Magnetic Reconnections at Mars

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Magnetic reconnection between neighboring magnetic field loops, the so-called interloop reconnection, is a common process to drive flares in the solar atmosphere.

Fast Shocks From Magnetic Reconnection Outflows

, 2011
Magnetic reconnection is commonly perceived to drive flow and particle acceleration in flares of solar, stellar, and astrophysical disk coronae but the relative roles of different acceleration mecha- nisms in a given reconnection environment are not well

Dynamic Responses to Magnetic Reconnection in Solar Arcades [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 1998
We present a numerical simulation of the interaction between two line dipoles through magnetic reconnection in the lower solar atmosphere, a process believed to be the origin of many manifestations of solar activity. This work differs from previous studies in that the field is sheared asymmetrically and that the dipoles have markedly unequal field ...

Sustainable Liquid Metal Composites for Soft Electronics and E‐Waste Reduction

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 5, 22 January 2026.
Liquid metal (LM) composites embody recyclability, repairability, renewability, and resilience (4R), offering a sustainable route for soft electronics. With exceptional conductivity, stretchability, and eco‐friendly recovery, these systems enable closed‐loop lifecycles and reduce e‐waste.

Multi‐Species Energy‐Banded Ions in the Ionosphere During the 21 January 2005 Magnetic Storm: Low‐Altitude Edge of the Warm Plasma Cloak

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract During the 21–22 January 2005 magnetic storm, the FAST satellite observed warm (< few keV) ions in discrete energy bands on the dayside at ∼3,000 km altitude for more than 6.5 hr. We suggest that the ionospheric energy‐banded ions represent the low‐altitude edge of the warm plasma cloak observed simultaneously by magnetospheric satellites ...

Magnetic Reconnection–driven Energization of Protons up to ∼400 keV at the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ∼400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) at a distance of ∼16.25 solar radii ( R _s )
