A team of scientists announced Tuesday they have developed new deep-sea landers specifically to test their contentious ...

Scientists descend nearly 11,000 meters into the Pacific to investigate reports of oxygen production without sunlight on the ...

Last year, deep-sea scientists discovered the phenomenon of “dark oxygen.” This bizarre finding challenges the long-held belief that oxygen is only produced through photosynthesis. Now, scientists are ...

Scientists have launched a fresh effort to find out what could be producing oxygen at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

You are taught early in science that oxygen on Earth comes from sunlight. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use light to split water and release oxygen, shaping the atmosphere and making complex life ...

Researchers have unveiled two world-first deep-ocean landers designed to probe the origins of dark ...

Deep-sea researchers have launched a groundbreaking project to investigate "dark oxygen"—a form of oxygen produced in total ...

Researchers say the polymetallic nodules that mining companies hope to harvest from the deep-ocean seafloor may be a source of oxygen for the animals, plants and bacteria that live there. This ...

The depths of the Pacific Ocean are rich in strange "rock-like" nodules that give off an electric -- and seemingly produce oxygen - Copyright AFP EVARISTO SA The ...

Deep-sea researchers have launched a groundbreaking project to investigate "dark oxygen"—a form of oxygen produced in total darkness on the ocean floor. The initiative follows last year's discovery of ...
