Are there any people actively doing research in MHD topics these days? It seems like an interesting field, but all the information I've come across only dates as recent as the early 1990's. What happened? 
MHD stands for Magnetohydrodynamics, which is a branch of physics that studies the dynamics of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of magnetic fields.
Some current research topics in MHD include plasma instabilities and turbulence, magnetic reconnection, astrophysical and space plasma, and fusion energy.
Yes, MHD research has many practical applications, including in the fields of energy production, space propulsion, and material processing.
You can find information about people actively doing research in MHD by searching through academic journals, attending conferences and workshops, and browsing through university websites and research institutes focused on MHD studies.
Yes, MHD research is a rapidly growing field with new advancements and discoveries being made every day. It is an interdisciplinary field that combines physics, mathematics, and engineering, making it an exciting and constantly evolving area of study.
