Japanese physicists may have solved a longstanding mystery in cosmology
-- how the large-scale magnetic fields found in today's galaxies and
galaxy clusters were initially created. Kiyotomo Ichiki at the National
Astronomical Observatory of Japan and colleagues suggest that these
fields originated in the very early universe from interactions between
photons and electrons before the first atoms had time to form. The
fields produced may have been strong enough to affect the formation of
early stars, says the team (Sciencexpress 1120690).
