Magnetic forces without magnets before the creation of first stars in the universe

Magnetic fields of weaker strength, than the present day Earth's magnetic field, were created even before the development of the first stars.
This recent research has been done by Prof. Dr. Reinhard Schlickeiser at the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and published online in the journal of Physical Review Letters.
This research shows the mechanism through which the magnetic forces came into being before the first stars, when according to the present knowledge, the universe was consisted only of nonmagnetic elements and particles.

Scientists from the universities of Kiel and Düsseldorf (both Germany) have developed a method to simulate gigantic magnetic fields that normally occur on neutron stars only. The physicists Professor Hartmut Löwen (Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf) and Professor Michael Bonitz (Kiel University) have now published these results in the journal "Physical Review Letters". In the article they show: when small particles in complex plasmas are set into rotation they behave as if they were exposed to a huge magnetic field.
