The weakened magnetic field may have led to increased oxygen concentrations in our atmosphere and oceans, triggering an ...

Despite this potential threat, recent studies suggest this period might have been a time of prosperity for early life forms.

An unusual reduction in the strength of Earth's magnetic field between 591 and 565 million years ago coincided with a ...

The magnetic field of the planet at the time was in a highly unusual state when the macroscopic animals of the Ediacaran ...

A 3.7-billion-year-old rock recorded Earth’s magnetic field, and it was remarkably similar to the field surrounding Earth ...

These rocks offer evidence that Earth had a strong magnetic field 3.7 billion years ago, but scientists aren't sure where ...

This timeframe is also some 200 million years earlier than previous magnetic field evidence. This is an important distinction ...

Furthermore, the researchers compared this measurement to data collected from comparable crystals created around 2,000 ...

Earth's magnetic field nearly collapsed some 590 million years ago, presumably putting life on the planet's surface at risk ...

New research is examining the possibility that a collapse in the planet's magnetic field could have been responsible for an ...

University of Rochester researchers studied Earth’s magnetic field during the transformative Ediacaran Period, which spanned ...

You’d be hard-pressed to find any force of nature more consistent than Earth’s magnetic field. Emphasizing this, MIT and ...
