Ordinary matter – basically, anything other than dark matter – makes up about 15% of all matter. But half of it has long been missing. Powerful bursts of radio waves emanating from 69 locations in the ...

The magnetic fields that formed in the very early stages of the universe may have been billions of times weaker than a small fridge magnet, with strengths comparable to magnetism generated by neurons ...
