The universe's first magnetic fields may have been much weaker than we first imagined — and were roughly equivalent to the strength of the magnetic activity within the human brain, according to a new ...

A new study reveals that magnetic fields in the early universe were likely billions of times weaker than those of a small fridge magnet. According to an international team of researchers, the strength ...

New simulations show how thousands of galaxies evolve by traveling through the strands of gas, dust and stars that make up the universe's "cosmic web." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

A simulation of the ‘cosmic web’, the vast network of threads and filaments that extends throughout the Universe. Stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters spring to life in the densest knots of this web, ...

For the first time, astronomers have directly imaged the faint glow of the diffuse cosmic web that stretches throughout the known the universe. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — containing the equivalent magnetic energy of a human brain. When you ...
