In 1979, a deep-sea mining experiment in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) left a lasting mark on the seabed. Decades later, a groundbreaking study published in the journal Nature, co-led by the ...
Researchers have demonstrated a new eco-friendly plastic that decomposes in deep ocean conditions. In a deep-sea experiment, the microbially synthesized poly(d-lactate-co-3-hydroxybutyrate) (LAHB) ...
A group of researchers recently discovered a new biodegradable plastic that could provide a significant boost to ocean health, Interesting Engineering reported. The research team, which comprised ...
Some countries, including the U.S., want to mine the seafloor for rare earth elements used in smartphones and electric cars. But other nations are concerned about the environmental impact. Sponsor ...
A new eco-friendly plastic called LAHB has shown it can biodegrade even in the extreme environment of the deep ocean, unlike conventional plastics that persist for decades. In real-world underwater ...
New research shows why some shelly critters flourished in the ocean’s harshest habitats — and others didn’t Jack Tamisiea Beds of Bathymodiolus mussels provide important habitat for other deep-sea ...
Clare Fieseler's and Jason Jaacks' reporting was supported by a grant from the Pulitzer Center and co-published with the Post and Courier. Rachel Feltman: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, ...
When researchers lowered whale bones into the deep ocean, they expected zombie worms to quickly move in. Instead, after 10 years, none appeared — an unsettling result tied to low-oxygen waters in the ...
