Researchers Find Oxygen Made Without Photosynthesis - With Mind-Blowing Consequences
Oxygen can be produced abiotically at deep-sea sediments, challenging assumptions that only life can generate this essential molecule.
The Mysterious Discovery of 'Dark Oxygen' on the Ocean Floor
Polymetallic nodules on the ocean floor may not only be a potential source of valuable metals but also could be driving a reaction that produces oxygen from seawater without the need for photosynthesis.
Scientists may have discovered 'dark oxygen' being created without photosynthesis
The discovery of 'dark oxygen' production challenges traditional beliefs on oxygen creation and raises questions about early life origins and the potential for alternative sources.
'Battery rock' discovery challenges understanding of life on Earth
Polymetallic nodules on the ocean floor act as natural rock batteries producing oxygen, challenging traditional theories on Earth's oxygen production and discouraging deep-sea mining.
Bizarre Mineral Clumps Make Dark Oxygen' on Deep Seafloor
Polymetallic nodules in the Pacific Ocean's CCZ produce oxygen in total darkness, contrary to conventional beliefs.
