What would happen if a 500-meter asteroid hit Earth? Scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics modeled the aftermath, ...

Under the sea ice during the Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, cells power photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever ...

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

Deep beneath the ocean's surface, in the pitch-black abyss, scientists have uncovered a fascinating phenomenon: "dark oxygen.

The startup’s ‘AI-optimized CDR’ approach is designed to re-create the optimal conditions for phytoplankton to play their part in oceanic carbon ...

The discovery challenges traditional photosynthesis concepts, revealing new possibilities for life in harsh environments, Science noted.

Productivity fuels life in the ocean, drives its chemical cycles, and lowers atmospheric carbon dioxide. Nutrient uptake and export interact with circulation to yield distinct ocean regimes.

microscopic marine algae known as phytoplankton also feed on CO2 and use photosynthesis to produce energy. Seagrasses and phytoplankton near the ocean’s surface form the base of the aquatic food ...

(C) In the coastal ocean, photosynthesis, decomposition and re-exchanging of CO2 with the atmosphere still continue. Solid organic carbon (e.g., soil particles, phytoplankton cells) is buried in ...

Dark oxygen refers to oxygen produced at extreme ocean depths without the involvement of photosynthesis. This process occurs on the deep ocean floor, where light cannot penetrate. In 2024 ...

While a single plant is capable of fixing inorganic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, the entire ecosystem surrounding the ...
