Far below the reach of sunlight, in water cold enough to freeze most life in its tracks, scientists have found oxygen being made in the dark. At more than 13,000 feet beneath the Pacific, where no ...

Scientists will lower instruments to the seafloor to figure out how metallic nodules are generating oxygen in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, an unexpected phenomenon that has fuelled controversy ...

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 ...

A team of scientists announced Tuesday they have developed new deep-sea landers specifically to test their contentious discovery that metallic rocks at the bottom of the ocean are producing "dark ...

For centuries, it was believed that the production of oxygen relied on one component: photosynthesis (the conversion of light energy into chemical energy). Plants and algae use sunlight to convert ...
