A new study analyzes the evolutionary history of 11 deep-sea species from environments stretching from the central Indian ...

In the Mariana Trench, they encountered species previously ... Samples of seawater, organisms, and sediments from the ocean floor were collected, allowing for a thorough examination of this ...

Deep-sea fish adapt to some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. New research analyzing their evolution finds the same mutation across fish species that have evolved on separate timelines — ...

Narrator: The Mariana Trench is the deepest point on Earth ... Now, like lobsters, these animals have hard exoskeletons made of calcium carbonate, which you normally wouldn't find down here ...

A new study in Cell reveals that species living miles beneath the ocean’s surface have independently evolved the same genetic mutation. These species, which diverged on the tree of life millions of ...

Since the 1960s, multiple missions—some autonomous, others manned—have sought to explore the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean, the Mariana Trench. Over 30,000 feet deep, it could completely submerge ...

Scientists at China's Beihang University developed a tiny morphable robot to explore the ocean's depths — and it's now taken ...

It appears to be an alien planet. What is the ocean's deepest point? What lives in the Mariana Trench—and what has been discovered recently?
