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 ...

Step back in time 3 billion years, to an Earth so alien it would be almost unrecognizable today. There were no continents as we know them, no animals or plants, and certainly no oxygen-rich atmosphere ...

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.
