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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

For the first time, scientists have imaged the elusive south pole of the sun. The images captured by the Solar Orbiter ...
