More than 70 researchers from around the world gathered at Princeton University May 23-25 for the 2012 U.S.-Japan Workshop on Magnetic Reconnection. PPPL physicist Hantao Ji chaired the international workshop, which was the twelfth since 1998 and the third to be held at Princeton. The event featured more than 55 papers, including two presented by Ji and Masaaki Yamada, who directs PPPL’s Magnetic Reconnection Experiment.
