Collapsing Plasma May Hold the Key to Cosmic Magnetism

Galactic magnetic fields may arise surprisingly fast, driven by collapsing plasma and turbulent flows. How quickly can a galaxy develop organized magnetic fields that stretch across thousands of light-years? Traditional models suggest this process takes billions of years, yet observations of real galaxies point to much faster timelines. A study published in Physical Review Letters [...]
