Just 6 kilometers (about 4 miles) of briny water separate the ocean's surface from the depths known as the hadal zone. Yet for as much as we know what lurks in its cold darkness, it might as well be ...

Deep-sea fish thrive in extreme pressure, darkness, and pollution, revealing new survival mechanisms and threats.

Shanghai Jiao Tong University along with multiple collaborating institutions including the University of Copenhagen and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, have conducted an extensive investigation ...

In this extreme environment—particularly in the hadal zone at depths greater than 6,000 meters—organisms endure immense pressures exceeding one ton per square centimeter, near-freezing ...

The deep sea, covering approximately 65% of Earth's surface, has long been considered a biological desert. In this extreme environment-particularly in ...

Ocean depth is divided into zones: littoral, bathyal, abyssal and hadal. The deepest part of the ocean, the hadal zone, is anywhere deeper than six kilometres. What is the average depth of the ocean?

At greater depths, cooperation between microbes seemed ... This suggests that microbes in the hadal zone don’t just drift randomly but instead find specific niches where they thrive.

To ensure that artist Lakshmi Mohanbabu’s artwork is sturdy enough to withstand crushing pressure at 7km below the sea, material scientists from NTU invented a new manufacturing process.
