Abstract This contribution is intended to give a brief review of some of the results concerning the Zeeman effect which have been recently published in the literature or which appear to be particularly relevant at the light of recent technological improvements in observations. The arguments emphasized are the Zeeman effect in molecular lines, the asymmetries observed in Stokes profiles from sunspots, and the interpretation of spectropolarimetric observations in the infrared.
