Ancient Volcanoes May Have Helped Create Perfect Balance For Life On Earth
Latest findings suggest that the Earth's atmosphere went through a sequence of oxygenation episodes fueled by geological and biological interactions rather than a single event.

Chinese Astronauts Successfully Generate Oxygen and Rocket Fuel Through Artificial Photosynthesis in Space
Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station have made a significant breakthrough by successfully producing oxygen and rocket fuel through artificial photosynthesis. Using carbon dioxide and water, the process mimics the natural photosynthesis found in plants, with the potential to produce methane or formic acid with minor adjustments. Unli...

What Claimed 17 Lives In J&K? Everything To Know About This Mysterious Illness
Cadmium is a naturally occurring metal found in the Earths crust, usually in combination with other elements such as oxygen, chlorine, or sulphur. However, it can be deadly. Here's what you must know.

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 ...

NASA Astronaut Captures Stunning Green Aurora Behind Russian Soyuz Spacecraft Docked at ISS
NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick, aboard the International Space Station, recently captured an extraordinary image of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft with a vibrant green aurora in the background. The photograph, taken during Expedition 71 in 2024, showcases the breathtaking beauty of space and the fascinating interplay between solar activity and Earth...

How Long Will Oxygen-Rich Atmosphere Sustain On Earth? Study Says...
The shift will take Earth back to something like the state it was in before what's known as the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) around 2.4 billion years ago, said the study.

NASA's Perseverance Rover Finds Diverse Set Of Organic Molecules On Mars
Organic molecules are the key building blocks of life on Earth that are made primarily of carbon and hydrogen and often other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur.

Where Did Earth's Oxygen Come From? Scientists Hint At An Unexpected Source
The amount of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere makes it a habitable planet. 21% of the atmosphere consists of this life-giving element. But in the deep past - as far back as the Neoarchean era 2.8-2.5 billion years ago - this oxygen was almost absent

Ancient Oxygen Source Detected in Earth’s Crust; May Have Influenced Evolution of Life, Researchers Say
Researchers have discovered a mechanism through which hydrogen peroxide can be generated from rocks under the Earth's surface during the movement of geological faults. The oxygen source could have influenced the early evolution of life on Earth when photosynthesis wasn't there, according to the researchers.

World’s Oldest Wildfires Date Back 430 Million Years, Shed Light on Earth’s Flora and Oxygen Levels Then
Scientists have discovered the world's oldest wildfires thanks to 430-million-year-old charcoal deposits found in Wales and Poland. They reveal a lot about what life was like on Earth during the Silurian period.

Jupiter's Moon Europa Is Pulling Down Oxygen to Sustain Life Beneath Surface: Research
The researchers say the moon could be pulling down oxygen below its icy surface to feed simple life. They say pools of saltwater in Europa's icy shell could be transporting oxygen from the surface to the ocean.

Moon’s Top Layer Can Provide Enough Oxygen for 8 Billion People for 100,000 Years
The Moon's layer of rocks, called regolith, contains enough oxygen to sustain human life. If a new study is to be believed, the Moon's surface has enough oxygen to keep 8 billion, or 800 crore people alive for around 1,00,000 years.
