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 ...

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 ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

Astronomers have identified the largest known single spinning structure within the cosmic web, a filament approximately 117,000 light-years across and 5.5 million light-years long, situated 424 ...

This new map is not only the most detailed view of the universe’s invisible scaffolding to date, it also allows astronomers to look deeper into cosmic history.

Recent studies suggest that our galaxy, the Milky Way, may be situated in a cosmic void, a revelation that could potentially resolve some complex cosmological mysteries. The exploration of these ...
