Current review story
The review is framed around this chain:
- The solar corona is magnetically structured, but its 3D magnetic field is hard to measure directly.
- Photospheric vector magnetograms provide lower-boundary data.
- Potential-field and NLFFF extrapolations are classical modelling approaches.
- Traditional NLFFF remains hard because of noisy/non-force-free boundary data and nonlinear constraints.
- NF2/PINN methods can be framed as neural optimisers for the same physics-constrained inverse problem.
- The method should be judged by physical diagnostics, not just visual plausibility.
