Deep-sea hydrothermal systems are dynamic interfaces where superheated, mineral-rich fluids emerge from the seabed and mix with cold, oxygenated seawater. These environments support dense microbial ...

Deep-sea sediment ecosystems host one of the largest microbial biomes on Earth, comprising bacteria, archaea and microeukaryotes adapted to high pressure, low temperature and limited nutrient ...

Previous research suggested microbial diversity in these depths might be limited, yet a lack of direct sampling has limited the certainty of these suggestions. Advances in deep-sea technology, ...

A new eco-friendly plastic called LAHB has shown it can biodegrade even in the extreme environment of the deep ocean, unlike conventional plastics that persist for decades. In real-world underwater ...
