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 ...
YANCHENG, JIANGSU, CHILE, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In the face of increasingly demanding industrial and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Deep-sea researchers have launched a groundbreaking project to investigate "dark oxygen"—a form of oxygen produced in total darkness on the ocean floor. The initiative follows last year's discovery of ...
