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 ...

Cyanobacteria helped shape life on Earth billions of years ago by producing oxygen through ...

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 ...

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 ...

A hidden crater in South Korea may hold clues to one of the biggest turning points in Earth’s history: the rise of oxygen. Scientists discovered fossil-like stromatolites — layered structures built by ...

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, ...

A robotic chemist working autonomously in a lab has developed an oxygen-producing catalyst from minerals found in Martian meteorites. The same procedure could one day be used to provide oxygen for ...

A joint research team led by Professor Hyung Mo Jeong from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University ...

As lunar missions are back in vogue with engineering more sustainable human presence on the Moon in mind, there’s no getting ...

Cornfields, like all green plants, produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. This process is driven by sunlight. So, the more sun available, the more oxygen production you'll get. That ...
