An article distributed by Inside Science News Service reports a team of researchers have announced what they think are the first indirect observations of ancient cosmic string, and quotes UB student Robert Poltis, lead author of the paper that discusses the findings. "Their magnetic field sort of hitches a ride with the expansion of the universe," he said. The article appeared in the Knoxville News Sentinel and the Pacific Free Press.
