【 摘 要 】

A mini-review is given about two recent discoveries in the solar wind turbulence research on ion-kinetic scales: the existence of sideband waves (or breakdown of the linear mode wave picture) and the wavevector anisotropy leading to a persistent filament formation in a wide range of plasma beta.
