- Physicists find “definitive evidence” of mechanism behind brightest ...Physicists report definitive evidence that auroras that light up the sky in the high latitudes are caused by electrons accelerated by a powerful electromagnetic force called Alfvén waves.
- Alfvén wave - WikipediaIn plasma physics, an Alfvén wave, named after Hannes Alfvén, is a type of plasma wave in which ions oscillate in response to a restoring force provided by an effective tension on the magnetic field lines.
- Hannes Alfvén – Biographical - NobelPrize.orgHannes Alfvén studied at Uppsala University from 1926, he obtained the degree of doctor of philosophy in 1934, in this same year he was appointed lecturer in physics at Uppsala University.
- Hannes Alfvén (1908 - 1995) - MacTutor History of MathematicsAlfvén introduced into discussion of the aurora the fundamental idea that plasma, even in space, has a magnetic field associated with it. In this way, he was led to study the general question of the significance of magnetic fields in the movements of plasmas.
