Alfvén's theorem
Alfvén's theorem, or the frozen-in flux theorem, states that in a perfectly conducting plasma the magnetic field is carried along with the fluid as if frozen into it.
Magnetic reconnection
Magnetic reconnection, also called magnetic merging, is a plasma process in which magnetic field lines break and rearrange, converting magnetic energy into particle energy and powering solar flares and auroras.
Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission
The Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission is a NASA mission, launched in 2015, that flies four identical spacecraft in tetrahedral formation through Earth's magnetosphere to study magnetic reconnection.
