Dark oxygen

Scientists discovered 'dark' oxygen 13100-feet deep in the Pacific Ocean, challenging beliefs about oxygen production in the deep sea.

Sensor readings seemed to show that oxygen was being made on the seabed 4000 meters below the surface, where no light can penetrate.

A study found large amounts of oxygen being produced deep in the Pacific Ocean – and the source appears to be lumps of metal.

Our understanding of the origins of life itself faces a potentially drastic overhaul following a startling discovery deep on the seafloor.

Scientists found that lumps of metal produce oxygen by separating H2O molecules and the discovery is challenging what we know about the deep sea.

Scientists have recently discovered a strange phenomenon, dubbed “dark oxygen” in the deep sea. A ground-breaking study published Monday found that oxygen is ...

Scientists have discovered that metal nodules on the ocean floor are producing oxygen in total darkness without any aid from living organisms, ...

Dark oxygen is the name for the oxygen produced in the depths of the ocean where no sunlight can reach.

Organisms normally need light to produce oxygen through a process known as photosynthesis, but researchers believe electrochemical activity produced by these ...

Oxygen produced without sunlight could sustain life on the ocean floor. But authors of a new study on the discovery worry that deep-sea mining could impact ...

The discovery of mysterious oxygen sources deep below the surface calls into question our understanding of how life was kick started.

The discovery of 'dark oxygen' is going to be monumental in understanding, “where could aerobic life have begun?” This accidental revelation happened.

It was previously thought that only photosynthetic organisms such as plants and algae generate Earth's oxygen.

It has long been understood that photosynthesis creates oxygen, but researchers believe they've found oxygen being created in parts of the ocean with no ...

Scientists have recently found evidence of 'dark oxygen' being generated in the deep ocean, seemingly by metal nodules on the seafloor.

CHENNAI, INDIA DECEMBER 22: The black polymetallic sea nodules, the nickel, manganese and cobalt rich mineral deposits, these balls form naturally deep ...

Mining conducted on the floors of deep seas could create "dark oxygen" containing metals that could impact the quality of oxygen above water.

Those nodules and other items found on the ocean floor in the deep sea between Hawaii and Mexico were subjected to a range of experiments, including injection ...
