Episode notes
Dark Oxygen Production
- Scientists discovered dark oxygen production in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone's deep ocean.
- This challenges previous beliefs about oxygen production and suggests potential for deep-sea aerobic life origins.
Mercury's Diamond Layer
- Mercury may have an 11-mile thick diamond layer beneath its surface formed from cooled, crystallized carbon-rich magma.
- This impacts our understanding of planetary dynamics and offers insights into other terrestrial planets and exoplanetary systems.
Beach-Cleaning Robots
- Robots like Vero and BeBot are cleaning up beaches.
- Vero targets cigarette butts, while BeBot screens sand for microplastics, showcasing innovative robotic solutions.
