| Abstract | This award supports a collaboration between Princeton University and Dartmouth College to explore how self-generated magnetic fields can persist and disperse in turbulent astrophysical plasmas. Astronomical observations of our Galaxy and clusters of galaxies indicate ubiquitous cosmic magnetic fields at the micro-Gauss level, or about one-millionth of the Earth's magnetic field. While weak, such magnetic fields appear to be pervasive and are dynamically important in the Universe even though astr |
