We review recent advances in our understanding of magnetism in the solar nebula and
protoplanetary disks (PPDs). We discuss the implications of theory, meteorite …

Laboratory experiments indicate that direct growth of silicate grains via mutual collisions can
only produce particles up to roughly millimeters in size. On the other hand, recent …

We present a comprehensive evolutionary model of the Sun's protoplanetary disk,
constructed to resolve the" CAI storage problem" of meteoritics. We predict the abundances …

Over the past decade, advancement of observational capabilities, specifically the Atacama
Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast …

ABSTRACT A global picture of the evolution of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) is key to
understanding almost every aspect of planet formation, where standard α-disk models have …

The gas dynamics of weakly ionized protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are largely governed by
the coupling between gas and magnetic fields, described by three non-ideal …

A key stage in planet formation is the evolution of a gaseous and magnetized solar nebula.
However, the lifetime of the nebular magnetic field and nebula are poorly constrained. We …

Theoretical models of the ionization state in protoplanetary disks suggest the existence of
large areas with low ionization and weak coupling between the gas and magnetic fields. In …

Planets are born in protostellar disks, which are now observed with enough resolution to
address questions about internal gas flows. Magnetic forces are possibly drivers of the flows …

This review examines recent theoretical developments in our understanding of turbulence in
cold, non-magnetically active, planetesimal-forming regions of protoplanetary disks that we …
