I review the origin and properties of electromagnetic fields produced in heavy ion collisions. The field strength immediately after a collision is proportional to the collision energy and reaches eB\sim(m_\pi)^2 at RHIC and eB\sim10…

The possibility of the existence of quasi-stationary electromagnetic fields in plasma supported by their own self-consistent current follows from Maxwell's equations with field sources. These equations also give rise to a wave equation for…

It is shown that an unmagnetized nonrelativistic thermal electron-proton plasma spontaneously emits aperiodic turbulent magnetic field fluctuations of strength $|\delta B|=9\beta_eg^{1/3}W_e^{1/2}$ G, where $\beta_e$ is the normalized…

Magnetars, the likely sources of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), produce both steady highly relativistic magnetized winds, and occasional ejection events. We demonstrate that the requirement of conservation of the magnetic flux dominates the…

It is shown that the standard cosmological model predicts {\it ab initio} generation of large-scale but very small-amplitude cosmic magnetic fields at the epoch of recombination of the primeval plasma. Matter velocities dominated by…

The magnetic field generation by a relativistic laser light irradiated on a thin target at the oblique incidence is investigated using a two dimensional particle-in-cell simulation. The surface magnetic field inhibits the electron transport…

We study the evolution of an inflation-generated magnetic field, due to its coupling to fluid motions, during cosmological phase transitions. We find that the magnetic field stays almost unchanged on large scales, while on small scales the…
