Recent progress on magnetic reconnection by in situ measurements
In the last decades, a few spacecraft missions have been launched to investigate the process of magnetic reconnection in space, during which magnetic free energy is explosively released into plasma kinetic ene...

Direct observation of turbulent magnetic reconnection in the solar wind
Magnetic reconnection in a current sheet is commonly found in astrophysical plasma environments. If it is often bursty, releasing magnetic free energy explosively, in planetary magnetospheres, it instead displ...

Open AccessDirect evidence of secondary reconnection inside filamentary currents of magnetic flux ropes during magnetic reconnection
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process, by which magnetic energy is explosively released in the current sheet to energize charged particles and to create bi-directional Alfvénic plasma jets. Num...
