Laser-driven experiments provide insights into the formation of the universe
Loading video... VIDEO: A 3D radiation magneto-hydrodynamic FLASH simulation of the experimental platform. The video shows a rendering of the magnetic field as a function of time, with grids and cylindrical shields shown... view more Credit: University of Rochester/Laboratory for Laser Energetics The universe is filled with magnetic fields. Understanding how magnetic fields are generated and amplified in plasmas is essential to studying how large structures in the universe were formed and how energy is divided throughout the cosmos. An international collaboration, co-led by researcher...
