As the climate crisis becomes a part of daily life with unprecedented heat waves and cold snaps, technology to effectively remove greenhouse gases is emerging as a critical global challenge. In ...

A new study suggests that metals scattered about the deep ocean may be producing oxygen, a finding that could strengthen the case against controversial deep-sea mining. Scientists have long assumed ...

Oxygen is abundant on Earth. It's actually the third most plentiful element in the entire universe, behind hydrogen and helium. Yet the further you get from our home planet, the less oxygen there will ...

A groundbreaking discovery of a mysterious oxygen source, termed “dark oxygen,” was made 5,000 meters below the ocean surface in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone. For years, scientists have puzzled over ...

The Metals Co. is trying to discredit new research that bolsters opponents’ claims that the deep sea is too unknown to mine. Scientists this week unveiled what they say is evidence that rocks rich ...

JACKSONVILLE, FLA – Every second breath you take comes from the ocean. The oxygen you inhale is largely the work of phytoplankton—tiny plant-like organisms floating at the surface of the sea. Through ...

An international team of researchers has discovered that metallic minerals on the deep-ocean floor produce oxygen -- 13,000 feet below the surface. Discovery challenges long-held assumptions that only ...

Nearly 4,000 m beneath the Pacific, in water so dark that sunlight has never penetrated, scientists have stumbled on a new way that oxygen can appear where it should not exist. The finding, quickly ...

As we shift toward more sustainable fuels, natural gas and biogas, which mainly contain methane (CH4), have become important sources of energy and raw materials for chemical production. However, these ...
