Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in plasma physics where magnetic energy is converted into kinetic energy and heat. It occurs when opposing magnetic field lines come into contact and reconfigure, leading to the release of a large amount of energy.
Magnetic reconnection plays a critical role in many astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, including the Earth's magnetosphere, the Sun's corona, and fusion reactors. Understanding this process is crucial for predicting and mitigating the effects of space weather and improving fusion energy production.
