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.

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 ...

The new findings suggest that the weakening of the magnetic field enabled this oxygen boost, which, in turn, led to a new phase of evolution. "If we're right, this is a pretty profound event in ...

A bizarre drop in the strength of the magnetic field has been found to have occurred between 591 and 565 million years ago, which coincides with a major increase in the oxygen levels in Earth's ...

the really weak magnetic field may have helped accelerate evolution.” Previously, the scientific consensus held that photosynthesizing organisms like cyanobacteria created the surplus of oxygen ...

It has recently been shown that using external magnetic fields to modulate spin states of single-atom catalysts (SACs) is ...

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 ...

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 ...

The disturbances in Earth's magnetic field funnel ions down towards Earth's poles where they collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere, creating dazzling aurora light shows.

New research suggests that the largest magnetic fields in the universe originated through some exotic mechanism that ...
