Dark oxygen discovered in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone The post Dark Oxygen Discovered: A Game-Changer in Deep-Sea Science appeared first on weather-fox.com.

The discovery of this deep-sea oxygen, dubbed "dark oxygen," is the first time scientists have ever observed oxygen being generated without the involvement of organisms and challenges what we know ...

Marine scientists who made headlines last year with their discovery that deep sea nodules could be producing “dark oxygen” are embarking on a three-year research project to explain their ...

The research that gave rise to the dark oxygen discovery was partly funded by a Canadian deep-sea mining business, The Metals Company, that wanted to assess the ecological impact of such exploration.

New research challenges a long-held assumption about oxygen in the deep sea, with scientists finding oxygen produced without photosynthesis in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone.

‘Dark oxygen’ discovered on the seafloor raises stakes for deep-sea mining negotiations Scientists discovered ‘dark oxygen’ in the ocean’s abyss, where companies want to mine battery metals.

Nodules in the deep sea may be a source of ‘dark oxygen’ Millions of years old, potato-sized rocks may be generating electricity that splits seawater and produces O 2 by Priyanka Runwal July ...

Scientists posit that the formation of dark oxygen is an electrochemical process. The polymetallic nodules in the deep sea behave like a geobattery in which they "generate a small electric current ...
