As on Earth, so in space. A four-satellite mission that is studying magnetic reconnection--the breaking apart and explosive reconnection of the magnetic field lines in plasma that occurs throughout the universe--has found key aspects of the process in space to be strikingly similar to those found in experiments at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). The similarities show how the studies complement each other: The laboratory captures important global ...
