Oxygen Production Discovered in Deep-Sea Metal Nodules, Researchers Investigate
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the deep ocean, where oxygen is being produced by metal nodules found on the seafloor. This surprising process, which occurs in total darkness, challenges the long-held belief that oxygen is only generated through sunlight and photosynthesis. The research team, led by Prof Andrew Sweetman from the ...

Microsoft Updates AutoGen Framework for AI Agents, Improves Developer Observability and Control
Microsoft researchers announced a new update to the company’s AutoGen orchestration framework on Tuesday. The update brings the framework up to v0.4 and solves several limitations in the previous iteration. The researchers stated that feedback from users suggested that developers wanted better observability and control over the AI agents created ...

Researchers Study Dark Matter Conversion Signals in Earth's Ionosphere
A study explored the potential of Earth's ionosphere as a medium to detect dark matter particles, specifically axions and dark photons. Researchers propose that these particles could convert into low-frequency radio waves within the ionosphere's plasma, creating detectable signals. By utilizing small, cost-effective dipole antennas, scientists aim ...

Amateur Astronomer Discovers Unexpected Composition of Jupiter’s Clouds
Recent observations by an amateur astronomer reveal that Jupiter’s clouds may not consist of ammonia ice as previously assumed. Using a technique called band-depth analysis, Steve Hill mapped ammonia concentrations in the planet’s atmosphere, finding reflective layers deeper than expected. These findings suggest the clouds may be composed of am...
