The shock discovery that metallic nodules could be producing oxygen in the deep sea made headlines last year – now the team ...

Last year, the team made headlines when it published a paper describing how metal lumps at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean seemed to produce oxygen without sunlight ...

A breakthrough discovery of oxygen production in darkness could redefine life's origins on Earth and open new frontiers in space exploration.

A project is underway to investigate the production of “dark” oxygen further. Understanding the phenomenon better could help ...

but in some tropical locations the loss can range up to 40%. Even small changes can impact marine life in a significant way. So waters with less oxygen favour species such as jellyfish ...

Why is oxygen important for the ocean ... Deoxygenation is causing a wide range of effects on marine life, including reducing the quality and quantity of suitable habitat, also known as habitat ...

About half the oxygen we breathe comes from the ocean. But, before this discovery, it was understood that it was made by marine plants photosynthesising - something that requires sunlight.

Scientists have developed a new energy system for autonomous underwater robots, such as ocean gliders. The system uses hydrogen and oxygen as energy source instead of lithium batteries, which pose ...
