The study also shows that rock containing tiny amounts of carbon dioxide helps to make magma at extreme depths in the mantle, which in turns explains the melted rock's electrical conductivity, or ability to sustain an electric charge. (livescience.com)
Desperate to find new energy resources, the ASAN creates a biomechanical robot called Nep2no that is capable of withstanding extreme depths in the hope of finding new energy sources. (wiiloveit.com)
(The team says they're still working on how other marine creatures like anemones and bacteria avoid such gruesome fates at the most extreme depths, but they suspect those organisms produce more efficient protein boosters than fish can.) (sciencemag.org)
