Plasma is a matter that is so hot that the electrons are separated from atoms. The electrons float freely and the atoms become ions. This creates an ionised gas\u2014plasma\u2014that makes up nearly all of the visible Universe. Recent research shows that magnetic fields can spontaneously emerge in plasma.<\/p>\n
Using a mechanism known as the Weibel instability, the team found that this process can convert a significant fraction of the energy stored in plasma\u2019s temperature anisotropy into magnetic field energy. It also finds that the Weibel instability could be a source of magnetic fields that permeate throughout the\u00a0cosmos.<\/p>\n
