Evidence of Weibel-Generated Magnetic Fields

Using a proton probe to directly image electromagnetic fields, scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory present evidence of Weibel-generated magnetic fields that grow in opposing, initially unmagnetized plasma flows from laser-driven laboratory experiments. The generation of cosmic magnetic fields has long intrigued astrophysicists. Since it was first described in 1959, a phenomenon known as […]
