Beyond the Tayler instability: A new global instability of toroidal magnetic fields in stars
A new global instability of toroidal magnetic fields in stars is reported that grows on the Alfvén time, is less dissipation-sensitive than the Tayler instability, and may affect angular momentum transport.

Magnetar field dynamics driven by chiral anomalies without magnetic helicity
The chiral magnetic effect generates magnetar-strength dipoles on decade timescales independently of net initial helicity, driven by localized helical structures and a threshold chiral chemical potential.
