Earth’s powerful magnetic field shields life on the planet from the severe cosmic radiation as we know it. This is what sets our blue world apart from Venus and Mars. However, the Earth’s ...
The planet's magnetic field may have collapsed around 600 million years ago, enabling a major oxygenation event and perhaps supercharging evolution. A near collapse of Earth's magnetic field may ...
Our geomagnetic field is one of the things that is different about Earth as opposed to say, Venus or Mars. It acts as a ...
A near collapse of Earth's magnetic field may have paved the way for life to evolve past the microscopic stage. New research on ancient rocks from South Africa and Brazil suggests that Earth's ...
A new study suggests more solar radiation reached Earth while the magnetic field weakened, leading to a rise in oxygen that drove an explosion of multicellular organisms during the Ediacaran ...
Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Sally Sara: New research is examining the theory that changes in the Earth's magnetic field could ...
The emergence and diversification of multicellular organisms on Earth appears to have coincided with the weakest magnetic field in Earth's history, which suggests a direct correlation. This has ...
Earth’s magnetic field plays a key role in making our planet habitable. The protective bubble over the atmosphere shields the planet from solar radiation, winds, cosmic rays and wild swings in ...
There are all kinds of technology that appear through the ages that find immediate success, promise to revolutionize the world, but fade to obscurity almost as quickly. Things like the ZIP disk ...
Earth’s magnetic field plays a key role in making our planet habitable. The protective bubble over the atmosphere shields the planet from solar radiation, winds, cosmic rays and wild swings in ...
The average Hackaday reader likely knows, at least in the academic sense, what a magnetic field looks like. But as the gelatinous orbs in our skull can perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM ...
