A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience found evidence of oxygen production near polymetallic nodules located deep in the ocean. Called dark oxygen, this oxygen is being produced ...

Cyanobacteria helped shape life on Earth billions of years ago by producing oxygen through ...

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 ...

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 ...

As lunar missions are back in vogue with engineering more sustainable human presence on the Moon in mind, there’s no getting ...

A joint research team led by Professor Hyung Mo Jeong from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University ...

Oxygen-producing rocks have been found on the deep seafloor, challenging what we know about oxygen production. I don’t know about you, but when I learned about oxygen production, it involved plants, ...

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 ...

In space, bubble trouble hampers oxygen production needed for astronauts to breathe. But neodymium magnets could coax bubbles off electrodes in microgravity to boost the efficiency of splitting water ...

Cornfields, like all green plants, produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. This process is driven by sunlight. So, the more sun available, the more oxygen production you'll get. That ...
