Hannes Alfvén, Nobel Prize winning astrophysicist, contributed to significant advances in the fields of magnetohydrodynamics (the study of plasmas in magnetic fields), plasma physics, and cosmology.
He shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Louis Néel in 1970, for his essential contributions in founding plasma physics - the study of plasmas (ionized gases).
