The increase and decrease in levels of the magnetic field and oxygen were parallel across ages, which might help narrow down ...

Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels have increased more or less in parallel over the past 540 million years, suggesting ...

Earth’s magnetic field seems to correlate with conditions that helped complex life to thrive — a discovery that could aid the search for life on distant exoplanets.

When the magnetic field around the Earth grows stronger, oxygen levels rise. That is the surprising finding of a new study looking at more than half a billion years of planetary history.

A weaker magnetic field could account for the higher levels of oxygen recorded in the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans around that time — and for the ensuing proliferation of macroscopic marine ...

A research team led by Prof. Sheng Zhigao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, ...

Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an ...

The researchers believe that a weak magnetic field may have led to an increase in oxygen in the atmosphere, allowing early complex life to evolve. The intensity of Earth’s magnetic field is ...

For the first time in history, we re seeing the Sun from an angle no one ever has: from above and below its poles. Thanks to ...

oxygen-breathing multicellular organisms. The wave of evolution just as the magnetic field weakened is “so striking that we felt this could not just be a coincidence,” said John Tarduno ...
