A study analyzing these modules reveals that these rocky lumps are capable of producing “dark oxygen” 4,000 meters below sea ...

The discovery of dark oxygen clearly has potential implications for the deep-sea mining industry. Deep-sea mining would extract polymetallic nodules that contain metals such as manganese, nickel and ...

Rocky lumps were found that are capable of producing “dark oxygen” 4,000 metres below sea level completely out of light’s ...

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 ...

It took me until 2021, when I measured oxygen production with a second method, that I realized we'd found something exceptional: dark oxygen—oxygen that's produced without sunlight. In the ...

Metallic nodules found deep in the sea seem to be producing significant amounts of oxygen by some unknown mechanism, researchers revealed last year. Now, we may have found out how it is happening ...

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 ...
