A startling discovery made public in July that metallic rocks were apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean’s seabed, where no light can penetrate, was a scientific bombshell. Initial research suggested potato-size nodules rich in metals, predominantly found 4,000 meters (13,100 feet) below the surface in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, released an electrical charge, splitting seawater into oxygen and hydrogen through electrolysis. The unprecedented natural phenomenon challenges the idea that oxygen can only be made from sunlight via photosynthesis.

The hunt for ‘dark’ oxygen and why it might be more common than first thought

By Katie Hunt, CNN (CNN) — A startling discovery made public in July that metallic rocks were apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean’s seabed, where no light can penetrate, was a scientific bombshell. Initial research suggested potato-size nodules rich in metals, predominantly found 4,000 meters (13,100 feet) below the surface in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, released an electrical charge, splitting seawater into oxygen and hydrogen thr…

Scientists say they found oxygen where it shouldn't be. Now hunt is on for answers

Scientists who recently discovered that pieces of metal on the dark seabed produce oxygen have announced plans to study the deepest parts of Earth's oceans to understand this strange phenomenon, the BBC notes.
