 potential to improve the understanding of the phenomena of magnetic field turbulence. We published our findings in Nature Communications that went online on June 30. This piece is also a tribute to Prof Predhiman Kaw, pioneering plasma physicist, “father of Indian nuclear fusion efforts”, great educator and a generous mentor who provided much of the vision for our research over the last nearly 20 years. He co-authored this paper with us but unfortunately passed away a couple of weeks before it was published.
