Cosmic magnetic fields with astonishing order

Turbulent processes in galaxies generate vast magnetic fields that often present a regular structure on a large scale. These are the findings of a study conducted by astronomers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum under the auspices of Prof Dr. Ralf-Jürgen Dettmar, which have been gathered following the analysis of data compiled with state-of-the-art radio telescopes. The Ruhr-Universität’s science magazine Rubin published a report on the research project.
