Did you know Earth's magnetic field is on the move? Recent studies reveal it's shifting at an astonishing rate—10 times ...
Earth’s magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen, according to a newly released study.
“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...
Geologic records reveal that magnetic field strength and oxygen levels rise and fall together, implying deep-Earth processes ...
Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...
Field-aligned currents (FACs), which are electric currents flowing across the Earth’s magnetic field, could explain some of these asymmetries. For the peak at 70 degrees magnetic latitude, ...
New NASA research demonstrates that 540 million years of Earth’s magnetic field changes have corresponded to surface ...
The strength of Earth’s magnetic field and the amount of oxygen in its atmosphere seem to be correlated—and scientists want ...
The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency, ...
The magnetic poles are the two ends of the magnetosphere, which surrounds the Earth like a giant, invisible force field. This ...
There have been proposed hypotheses as to how the Moon could have developed a core dynamo. For instance, a 2022 analysis suggested that in the first billion years, when the Moon was covered in molten ...
