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 the two factors are linked in some way, researchers say.
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 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 ...
According to an international team of geoscientists, an unusual lull in the Earth’s magnetic field nearly 600 million years ago may have triggered a rise in the planet’s oxygen levels, thereby ...
The reaction, called the the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), was improved by developing a new class of heterogeneous molecular catalysts with an integrated magnetic field. Traditional hydrogen ...
Abstract: Possible influence of d.c. magnetic fields on the behavior of oxygen dissolved in aqueous solutions is studied in order to widen the basic understanding of biological effects of magnetic ...
"When these nanoparticles are stimulated by a low-frequency magnetic field, they generate biosafe levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell cytoplasm," explained Fussenegger.
