What Is An Eye Stroke? Know Types, Symptoms, Causes And More
Like a usual stroke that interrupts oxygen flow to the brain, an eye stroke cuts off the essential nutrients and oxygen required for the retinal cells. This disruption can lead to rapid and sometimes permanent vision loss in the affected eye.

Scientists Explore Role of Space Radiation in Powering Alien Microbial Life
A new study proposes that life may exist far from sunlight in a “radiolytic habitable zone” deep beneath the icy surfaces of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Cosmic rays, which can penetrate rock and ice, break water molecules apart to release hydrogen, oxygen, and energy-rich electrons. These can fuel microbes in subsurface water, much like bacter...

'Dark Oxygen': A Deep-Sea Discovery That Has Split Scientists
Could lumpy metallic rocks in the deepest, darkest reaches of the ocean be making oxygen in the absence of sunlight?

Oxygen Production Discovered in Deep-Sea Metal Nodules, Researchers Investigate
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the deep ocean, where oxygen is being produced by metal nodules found on the seafloor. This surprising process, which occurs in total darkness, challenges the long-held belief that oxygen is only generated through sunlight and photosynthesis. The research team, led by Prof Andrew Sweetman from the ...

These Metallic Rocks Produce 'Dark' Oxygen: What It Means
The metallic rocks release electrical charge that splits the seawater into oxygen and hydrogen through electrolysis.

Unexpected Oxygen Source Found 4,000 Metres Below Pacific Ocean Surface
This finding challenges existing beliefs about the origins of aerobic life and necessitates further research into its implications for deep-sea mining and sediment smothering.

Watch: Indian Paratroopers Jump Out Of Super Hercules Plane Over Ladakh
The ramp of the American-made C-130J Super Hercules opens slowly as the four-engine transport aircraft comes to a steady airspeed high above the icy mountains of Ladakh. The dark cargo hold then brightens up with ambient light. Within seconds, a paratrooper wearing a oxygen mask runs towards the edge of the ramp, gives a brief thumbs-up, and then j...

After 34 Years, Puri Jagannath Temple Treasury To Be Opened For Inspection
This dark room laden with treasure has remained shut since 1984. Someone entering it now will need an oxygen cylinder. For 34 years, the door of the ratna bhandar or treasury of the 12th century Jagannath temple in Puri, has not seen light. But tomorrow, 10 people will unlock the room and step inside to check its structural integrity under c...
