'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.

Deep-sea metals may be source of oxygen for life on ocean floor

Deep-ocean polymetallic nodules may provide oxygen for deep-sea life and are crucial for green-energy technologies, impacting global decisions on deep-sea mining.

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.

Metal-Rich Ocean Deposits Produce Dark Oxygen'

Oxygen is produced in the dark of the deep ocean, highlighting a unique ecosystem.
Polymetallic nodules raise questions about the environmental impacts of deep-sea mining.
