A project is underway to investigate the production of “dark” oxygen further. Understanding the phenomenon better could help ...

Certain metallic rocks seem to be making oxygen in the dark, without light or sunshine, at the bottom of the ocean.

Scientists discovered microbes in Amazon peatlands that control carbon storage. If peatlands stay stable, they store carbon.

The discovery that metallic rocks are apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean's seabed challenges the idea that ...

Complex organisms, thousands of times smaller than a grain of sand, can shape massive ecosystems and influence the fate of ...

Last year, the team made headlines when it published a paper describing how metal lumps at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean ...

Yale researchers uncovered the molecular machinery behind nanowire assembly in microbes, enabling advances in electricity ...

The story of Earth’s atmospheric oxygenation is one of transformation, shaped by both biological and planetary forces. While ...

Almost all living things breathe oxygen to eliminate the excess electrons produced when nutrients are converted into energy.

It took scientists working with cyanobacterial microbes to connect the dots. In the Middle Island Sinkhole in Lake Huron, microbial mats can be found that are thought to be an analog of the ...
