A transparent bubble submarine designed in a California garage let scientists explore the deep ocean in comfort while seeing panoramic underwater views. Deep Rover transformed how we study the seas and set multiple dive records along the way.
A team aboard the E/V Nautilus is exploring 407,241 square kilometers of mostly unmapped Pacific Ocean floor near Wake Island, one of Earth's most remote areas. The 31-day expedition will survey deep-sea life, collect geological data, and document World War II shipwrecks while streaming discoveries live to the world.
Norwegian company Blueye Robotics just launched two underwater drones that can explore ocean depths up to 500 meters, opening up the deep sea to researchers, conservationists, and anyone curious about what lies beneath. These mini-ROVs make ocean exploration more accessible than ever before.
Canadian scientists created detailed digital replicas of two legendary polar exploration ships resting more than 1,000 feet below the ocean surface. The stunning 3D models preserve the final vessels of explorers Ernest Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott for future generations.
Researchers discovered 31 previously unknown ocean creatures during a two-week expedition in the South Atlantic Ocean near Brazil. The Schmidt Ocean Institute captured stunning images and created 3D models of these deep-sea species.
Chinese researchers discovered mineral deposits rich in gold and silver on the Pacific Ocean floor, marking a breakthrough in deep-sea exploration. The find could unlock new resources while advancing our understanding of ocean geology.
A team of ocean explorers is heading to one of the most remote places on Earth to reveal what's hiding beneath waters that have barely been studied. The 31-day expedition will map deep-sea life, underwater mountains, and World War II battle sites in real time for anyone with an internet connection to watch.
Colorful zoantharians look identical in Brazil and Okinawa despite being separated by thousands of miles, puzzling scientists who discovered they may be nature's ultimate ocean travelers. As climate change threatens traditional coral reefs, these resilient creatures are thriving and offering hope for the future of our oceans.
Kia just renewed its electric vehicle partnership with The Ocean Cleanup, helping the nonprofit tackle ocean plastic pollution while turning recovered waste into car parts. The collaboration shows how corporate partnerships can drive real environmental progress.
A billionaire-backed vessel is revolutionizing marine research by pairing cutting-edge science with Hollywood-level storytelling. OceanXplorer partners with local scientists worldwide to explore the deep sea while sharing discoveries with millions online.
The creators of underwater game Subnautica 2 just donated $100,000 to The Ocean Cleanup, turning virtual ocean healing into real-world impact. Players who spent hours restoring an alien ocean are now helping save Earth's waters.
NASA's Juno spacecraft just confirmed that Jupiter's tiny moon Europa hides an ocean containing more than twice the water of all Earth's oceans combined beneath 29 kilometers of ice. This discovery brings scientists closer to understanding whether life could exist in this distant alien ocean.
A young engineer who saw more plastic than fish while diving as a teenager has now removed 50,000 tonnes of trash from waterways and says he can clean the world's oceans in just ten years. His solution targets the 1% of rivers responsible for 80% of ocean plastic.
An international team exploring underwater mountains near remote Australian islands discovered 149 species never seen before, including bizarre fish, sea cucumbers, and a graveyard of shark teeth spanning 22 million years. The findings illuminate one of Earth's least-known ocean regions.
Scientists successfully powered underwater robots with solar panels 33 feet below the ocean's surface, opening new possibilities for marine research and autonomous ocean technology. The breakthrough could revolutionize how we power equipment exploring Earth's final frontier.
The island nation of Mauritius just became the 70th country to sign the Artemis Accords, joining a global coalition committed to peaceful space exploration and returning humans to the Moon. This small island nation in the Indian Ocean is now helping shape how we explore space together.
A state-of-the-art research ship off Indonesia is helping scientists explore ocean depths rarely seen by human eyes, revealing extraordinary creatures and potential medical breakthroughs. These submersible dives are making deep-sea research more accessible and inspiring a new generation of ocean explorers.
Over 1.5 million people now have access to explore how ocean-based carbon removal could help meet global climate goals. The free simulator lets anyone test how Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement fits into real climate strategies.
The team behind underwater adventure game Subnautica 2 just gave $100,000 to help remove plastic from the world's oceans. The donation to The Ocean Cleanup marks the studio's continued commitment to protecting the real-life seas that inspired their virtual worlds.
