Magnetic fields thread the largest structures in the observable universe. They trace the filaments of the cosmic web, wind ...

Somewhere between the galaxy clusters that dot the observable universe, enormous threads of hot, diffuse gas stretch across ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...

The universe is full of fascinating structures, and some of the most striking take shape inside the giant clouds where stars ...

Astronomers have developed a groundbreaking computer simulation to explore, in unprecedented detail, magnetism and turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM) -- the vast ocean of gas and charged ...

A new simulation of the galaxy’s magnetic turbulence shakes up how we think about—and visualize—the astrophysical environments. The model was developed by James Beattie, a postdoctoral fellow at the ...

Researchers at Carnegie Institution for Science and Nanjing University published a study predicting that carbon and hydrogen ...

Earth is fortunate in having a magnetic field: it protects the planet and its life from harmful cosmic radiation. Other planets in our solar system—such as Mars—are constantly bombarded by charged ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...

An illustration of the sun's magnetic fields overlaid on an image of the sun captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory in 2016. NASA / SDO / AIA / LMSAL The sun’s magnetic field could form much ...
