A mysterious phenomenon first observed in 2013 aboard a vessel in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean appeared so preposterous, it convinced ocean scientist Andrew Sweetman that his monitoring ...

An international team of researchers has devised a plasma-based approach to producing oxygen on Mars to support exploration. Oxygen is vital: it breathable environments, life support, producing fuels ...

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 ...
