Scientists on a Schmidt Ocean Institute expedition have discovered a new hydrothermal vent field larger than a professional soccer field. The vent field found in the Pacific Ocean off the […]
The space race is entering a new era of exploration, in which the number of robotic and human missions to various places in our solar system is rapidly increasing.
The vibrant reefs that line the shores of the Red Sea, well known to tourists and divers alike, belie the fact that this marine environment is one of the harshest […]
For years, scientists have assumed that there are oceans of water beneath the ice covers on the moons Enceladus and Europa. Even in outer space, the presence of water can […]
A new ecosystem has been discovered in volcanic cavities beneath hydrothermal vents at a well-studied undersea volcano on the East Pacific Rise off Central America.
Editor’s note: When we send robotic submersibles and rovers to other worlds to search for life in remote and hostile environments, we’re going to our droids to be as smart […]
Mars rovers have teams of human experts on Earth telling them what to do. But robots on lander missions to moons orbiting Saturn or Jupiter are too far away to […]
On Friday, May 19, 2023, Impossible Sensing, along with a team of scientists and engineers from SETI Institute, NASA JPL, University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory and other institutions onboard […]
Scientists have used a human-occupied submersible to explore one of the Indian Ocean’s deepest and little-known spots, documenting its unique habitat and diverse marine life.
There is a massive, mineral-rich region in the Pacific Ocean—about twice the size of India—called the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), which has already been divided up and assigned to companies for […]
