The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $318,113 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct a collaborative research program entitled "A Comprehensive Theoretical Study of Cosmological Magnetic Fields and Turbulence: From the Early to Late Time Universe." This 3-year grant, which began on September 1, 2023, will support theoretical and computational modeling to investigate the origin, evolution, and observational consequences of cosmic magnetic fields, including physical processes in the early universe and interstellar medium. The research aims to illuminate the role of magnetic fields as a probe of fundamental physics and determine whether the observed cosmic magnetic fields require physics beyond the standard model of cosmology and particle physics. As part of this project, the Principal Investigators (PIs) will also participate in public outreach activities to engage middle and high school students, disabled veterans, and the general public.
