Radio waves emanate from the gap between two merging galaxy clusters. This first-of-its kind detection suggests that the "threads" that bridge galaxy clusters in the universe are home to magnetic ...
At the very largest scale, the Universe consists of a "cosmic web" made of enormous, tenuous filaments of gas stretching between gigantic clumps of matter. Or that's what our best models suggest. All ...
A newly reported population of vast, thread-like structures stretching across several light-years has been identified near ...
A mathematician from MSU together with a Russian colleague modeled the formation of filaments (thread-like matter conglomerates) after the collision of a shockwave with molecular clouds in ...
Simulations of the Universe on the largest scales show an unexpected resemblance to nerve cells in the human brain, with galaxy clusters playing the role of the cell body and thinner filaments of ...
Scientists have discovered the forces that bind together a strange network of 100-million-year-old, ropelike gas filaments that extend from an enormous elliptical galaxy. Subscribe to read this story ...
