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.
Scientists create magnetic nanowire catalyst that boosts oxygen evolution, a key step in hydrogen production from water.
The strength of Earth's magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen for hundreds of millions of years, according to a newly released analysis by NASA scientists ...
This is a big deal because stable aquodiium, which consists of four atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen (H4O2+), has never been observed before due to the high energy barrier involved in ...
Aurorae on Venus? Yes, but… Venus has no significant global magnetic field, which means the solar wind collides directly with particles in Venus’ atmosphere, like carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Test your knowledge of the stunning Aurora Borealis with our 10-question quiz! Learn about the science behind the Northern ...
The combination of radiation, magnetic fields, and charged particles that the Sun hurls into space can affect the Earth and the rest of the solar system. Solar wind batters the surface of asteroids ...
In an unmagnetized material, these individual magnetic fields are pointing in different random directions. In that state, they mostly cancel each other out, so the material isn't magnetic overall.
