Did you know that the deep ocean can produce oxygen without the need of solar light nor photosynthesis? According to a study published in Nature Geoscience, ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover produced breathable oxygen on Mars on April 20, 2021, marking the first time humans manufactured a life-sustaining resource on another planet. The Mars Oxygen In-Situ ...

For centuries, it was believed that the production of oxygen relied on one component: photosynthesis (the conversion of light energy into chemical energy). Plants and algae use sunlight to convert ...

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 ...

Life on Earth may have learned to breathe oxygen long before oxygen filled the skies. MIT researchers traced a key oxygen-processing enzyme back hundreds of millions of years before the Great ...

NASA's Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration (CaRD) project has completed an important step toward using local resources to support human exploration on the moon. The CaRD team performed integrated ...

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 ...

Oxygen is everywhere on Earth today. But that hasn’t always been the case. Scientists think oxygen only became a lasting part ...
