Deep-sea conditions present extreme challenges: the water is perpetually cold, devoid of natural light, and subjected to crushing pressure. At depths of 10,000 metres, the pressure reaches about ...

Deep below the surface of the ocean, bacteria and critters that feed off nutrients spouting from hydrothermal vents met with ...

OceanGate's Titan submersible imploded in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland. Now, amid ongoing investigations ...

If the U.S. wants to secure critical minerals it should invest in mining and processing facilities on home soil rather than the seafloor.

The minerals that are being targeted form a critical part of the sea floor, and the sea floor is what life attaches to in the ...

But thanks to cameras built to withstand the deep-sea pressure, researchers were able to capture images and study the mysterious creature, according to a paper published in Deep Sea Research Part ...

Could we evolve into sea being if we were in water enough? What causes knots in your muscles? And do fish ever get thirsty? Bianca Nogrady answers these questions and more on triple j Mornings with ...

The remains of the Titanic are 12,500 feet deep. Experts say the pressure at that depth is between 370-380 bars. Wille compared the pressure on the Titan to a classic physics demonstration.

Seabed mining doesn’t normally attract much media attention, but President Donald Trump’s executive order (EO) on the topic, issued on April 24, changed that in a hurry.

One study published in Science earlier this month found that with 44,000 deep-sea dives, just 0.001% of the deep seafloor has been visually observed — which is roughly the size of Yosemite ...

Deep-sea reverse osmosis (DSRO) uses natural ocean pressure at depths of 400 meters or more to reduce energy consumption by up to 40% compared to traditional desalination methods.
