Computational astrophysics team uncloaks magnetic fields of cosmic events

The development of ultra-intense lasers delivering the same power as the entire U.S. power grid has enabled the study of cosmic phenomena such as supernovae and black holes in earthbound laboratories. Now, a new method developed by computational astrophysicists at the University of Chicago allows scientists to analyze a key characteristic of these events: their powerful and complex magnetic fields.

Don’t Underestimate Your Mind’s Eye

UA study finds that objects in our visual environment needn’t be seen in order to impact decision making.

Take a look around, and what do you see? Much more than you think you do, thanks to your finely tuned mind’s eye, which processes images without your even knowing. (more…)
