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, ...

2D projection of the cosmic web as obtained from a supercomputer simulation. CREDIT Dr Ewald Puchwein and the Sherwood-Relics collaboration Dark matter could be made up of ultralight dark photons that ...

The magnetic fields that formed in the very early stages of the Universe, may have been billions of times weaker than a small fridge magnet, with strengths comparable to magnetism generated by neurons ...

Scientists made a twin version of our universe, showing the evolution of all forms of matter and energy, in the biggest cosmological computer simulation to date. When you purchase through links on our ...

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 ...

Pictures are the key to new insights in the field of astrophysics. Such images include simulations of cosmic events, which astrophysicists at UZH use to investigate how stars, planets and galaxies ...
