A new breakthrough in oxygen generation technology using magnetic forces could dramatically change how astronauts survive on future missions to the Moon and Mars. As detailed in the peer-reviewed ...

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 ...

Scientists have come to realize that in the soil and rocks beneath our feet there lies a vast biosphere with a global volume nearly twice that of all the world’s oceans. Little is known about these ...

Oxygen, the molecule that supports intelligent life as we know it, is largely made by plants. Whether underwater or on land, they do this by photosynthesising carbon dioxide. However, a recent study ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Scientists have come to realize that in the soil and rocks beneath our feet there lies a vast biosphere with a global volume nearly ...

Rocks are generating 'dark oxygen' in an area being explored for deep-sea mining. Over 12,000 feet below the surface of the sea, in a region of the Pacific Ocean known as the Clarion-Clipperton Zone ...

Future Moon and Mars missions could use a high-tech combination of solar energy and chemical reactions to make oxygen, and even rocket fuel, from lunar ice or carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere.

Researchers at Kyushu University and Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a new computational model that can simulate ...
