A study analyzing these modules reveals that these rocky lumps are capable of producing “dark oxygen” 4,000 meters below sea level where light cannot reach.

Oxygen has been historically linked to sunlight. But a new study has suggested that oxygen may also be produced without any sunlight at all. Scientists at the University of Southern Denmark recently ...

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, ...

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 ...

An international team of researchers has devised a plasma-based approach to producing oxygen on Mars to support exploration. Oxygen is vital: it breathable environments, life support, producing fuels ...

A toaster-sized device called MOXIE is tucked inside NASA's Perseverance rover, which landed on Mars in 2021. MOXIE reliably produces 6 grams of oxygen per hour under various conditions on Mars. A ...

It is common knowledge that there would be no oxygen on Earth were it not for sunlight; the key component in photosynthesis. Now researchers have made the surprising discovery that oxygen is also ...

A mysterious phenomenon first observed in 2013 aboard a vessel in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean appeared so preposterous, it convinced ocean scientist Andrew Sweetman that his monitoring ...
