The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $359,079 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) for a collaborative research project studying the origin, evolution, and observational consequences of cosmic magnetic fields from the early to late universe.

The research team from CMU and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will use theoretical modeling and computational simulations to investigate the "top-down" cosmological scenario for the generation of large-scale magnetic fields in the early universe. This work aims to illuminate the role of magnetic fields as a probe of fundamental physics, potentially revealing the need for new physics beyond the standard cosmological model. The project will also include public outreach activities to engage middle/high school students, disabled veterans, and the general public.
