New Mexico Consortium scientists Feiyu Li and Xiangrong Fu, recently published their work titled Parametric Decay of Alfvénic Wave Packets in Nonperiodic Low-beta Plasmas in The Astrophysical Journal. Alfvén waves (AW) are very important in magnetized plasmas. Because they have little geometrical attenuation, these waves may efficiently carry fluctuating magnetic energy over long distances. They
