Magnetorotational instability (MRI) is a fundamental instability that occurs in differentially rotating astrophysical fluids in the presence of a magnetic field. It plays a critical role in the dynamics of accretion disks, such as those found around black holes, neutron stars, and young stellar objects, as well as in the formation of stars and planets.
