A startling discovery made public in July that metallic rocks were apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean’s seabed, where no light can penetrate, was a scientific bombshell. Initial ...

Dark oxygen is produced on the seafloor by a process other than photosynthesis. A new study published in Nature Geoscience in July 2024 suggests it’s unclear what causes dark oxygen, but a possible ...

The discovery of “dark oxygen” found 13,000 feet under the sea has added yet another layer of mystery and it behaves differently from anything else we know! Let’s dive “Twenty Thousand Lea ...

It took me until 2021, when I measured oxygen production with a second method, that I realised we’d found something exceptional: dark oxygen – oxygen that’s produced without sunlight.

Could lumpy metallic rocks in the deepest, darkest reaches of the ocean be making oxygen in the absence of sunlight? Some scientists think so, but others have challenged the claim that so-called ...

Dark oxygen is produced on the seafloor by a process other than photosynthesis. A new study published in Nature Geoscience in July 2024 suggests it's unclear what causes dark oxygen, but a ...

Some scientists think so, but others have challenged the claim that so-called "dark oxygen" is being produced in the lightless abyss of the seabed. The discovery -- detailed last July in the ...
