Earth’s oxygenated atmosphere and magnetic field make life possible, but scientists have discovered that there’s a hidden ...

Every breath we take in contains 21% oxygen, the gas that makes life on Earth possible. Oxygen, in its combined oxide state, ...

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.

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

The strength of Earth’s magnetic field seems to rise and fall hand-in-hand with the abundance of oxygen in its atmosphere, a ...

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

NASA finds a historic link between magnetic field shifts and oxygen levels, possibly key to life’s evolution on Earth.

Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels have increased more or less in parallel over the past 540 million years, suggesting the two factors are linked in some way, researchers say.

Not only does this research offer new clues about how Earth has maintained the delicate balance needed for life, but it may ...

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.

If you could flip back through deep time like pages in a graphic novel, you’d see two lines: one tracking Earth’s magnetic muscle, the other the oxygen that makes almost all types of living on our ...
