Oxygen-producing rocks have been found on the deep seafloor, challenging what we know about oxygen production. I don’t know about you, but when I learned about oxygen production, it involved plants, ...

Since sending the first human into space in the 1960s, the solution to one key challenge has remained elusive: the efficient and reliable production of oxygen in space. On the International Space ...

Potato-shaped metallic nodules deep under the Pacific Ocean produce oxygen in complete darkness, challenging previous assumptions about oxygen production. The discovery of "dark oxygen" raises ...
