Laboratory experiments reveal that molten rock under extreme pressure can hold far more oxygen than scientists thought possible. This hidden oxygen reservoir deep in Earth might help explain how our planet's atmosphere became breathable billions of years ago.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered a galaxy containing oxygen when our universe was just 300 million years old, proving stars were already living, dying, and creating the building blocks of life far earlier than scientists expected.
Researchers are heading back to the deep Pacific Ocean to solve one of the sea's most intriguing mysteries: oxygen appearing 4,000 meters down where sunlight can't reach. Armed with $5.2 million in funding and custom-built equipment, they're determined to discover what's creating this unexpected source of life-giving gas.
