Polymetallic nodules may generate oxygen in deep sea
Summary: Scientists have discovered that polymetallic nodules in the deep ocean may generate oxygen through a process similar to electrolysis. Research led by Andrew Sweetman found unexpected increases in oxygen levels in deep-sea water samples, challenging previous assumptions about oxygen sources. This finding could have implications for understanding potential life-supporting environments on icy moons and planets beyond our solar system.
