Researchers used hundreds of thousands of computer simulations to examine the remnants of these ancient magnetic fields, which still reside within the "cosmic web" billions of years later. Magnetism ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those forces—magnetism—emerged in ways scientists are only now beginning to ...

Rutgers researchers have uncovered unique “fingerprints” that reveal how these cosmic systems expand and evolve. A group of scientists led by Rutgers University has found new evidence about how ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe.

The filament structure of the universe is strikingly congruent, in a topological sense, to the axon-neuronic structure of the ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Simulations suggest cosmic webs, made of filaments of dark matter, stretch throughout the galaxy.

Research using 250,000 simulations and observations shows early Universe magnetic fields were incredibly weak, yet still ...

Using data from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager, an animation has been created that "reveals a 3-D slice through a network of ...

Scientists at Rutgers and collaborators have traced the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe using over 100,000 ...

Euclid mission has published the most extensive simulation of the cosmos to date. The modeling was based on algorithms ...

Like rivers feeding oceans, streams of gas nourish galaxies throughout the cosmos. But these streams, which make up a part of the so-called cosmic web, are very faint and hard to see. While ...

Galaxies in the universe trace patterns on very large scales; there are large empty regions (called “voids”) and dense regions where the galaxies exist. This distribution is called the cosmic web. The ...
