Scientists Reportedly Discover New Species of Marine Life on the Antarctic Ocean Floor
Strange underwater life ranging from hand-sized sea spiders to jelly-like sea pigs to a breeding sea butterfly has been found by Australian scientists investigating the Antarctic ocean floor. Taken aboard the RSV Nuyina icebreaker, these unusual species found at enormous depths provide understanding of life in one of the toughest places on Earth. S...

Scientists Detects Most Energetic Neutrino Ever in the Mediterranean Sea
A record-breaking neutrino with 220 quadrillion electron volts has been detected in the Mediterranean Sea. Captured by the KM3NeT deep-sea telescope, this rare cosmic event could be linked to powerful astrophysical phenomena such as black holes or supernovae. Neutrinos, nearly massless particles that rarely interact with matter, provide crucial ins...

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 ...

World’s First Nuclear-Powered Diamond Battery Can Power Devices for Millennia
The world’s first nuclear-powered battery has been developed by researchers at the University of Bristol, offering an incredible lifespan of thousands of years. Using carbon-14, a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 5,730 years, embedded within a diamond structure, the battery generates energy without requiring motion or maintenance. Short-ra...

Animal Life Discovered Underground Near Hydrothermal Vents in the Deep Pacific Seabed
Recent deep-sea explorations have unveiled a remarkable ecosystem thriving beneath the Pacific Ocean's floor. Scientists deployed a remotely operated vehicle to investigate hydrothermal vent sites along the East Pacific Rise, where two tectonic plates diverge. Beneath the seafloor, they discovered cavities harboring giant tubeworms—the largest wo...

India Advances Deep-Sea Mining With Varaha-3, Collecting Vital Polymetallic Nodules
The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) has successfully conducted trials with the Varaha-3 seabed mining machine in the Andaman Sea, reaching depths of 1,193 metres. This innovative machine collected polymetallic nodules, rich in crucial metals such as nickel, cobalt, and copper, essential for renewable energy and electric vehicle indust...
