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 ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are integral to cellular bioenergetics, utilising nutrient oxidation to drive ATP synthesis while concurrently generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide and hydrogen ...

Potato-shaped metallic nodules deep under the Pacific Ocean produce oxygen in complete darkness, challenging previous assumptions about oxygen production. The discovery of "dark oxygen" raises ...

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, ...

Researchers studied the fate of the material produced by Posidonia seagrass meadows. This study, carried out in the Mediterranean Sea at STARESO, shows that the dead leaves of what is commonly known ...
