A bizarre new predator has been discovered lurking 26,000 feet below the ocean's surface and has been named after its pitch-black home ... ecologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ...

Some of the largest ocean eddies on Earth are mathematically equivalent to the mysterious black holes of space. These eddies are so tightly shielded by circular water paths that nothing caught up ...

This discovery, Dulcibella camanchaca, was made in the pitch black nearly 8,000 meters deep — close to the height of Mount Everest — in the South Pacific Ocean’s Atacama trench near Chile.

Here's how. Liu said that when an object crosses a black hole's "event horizon" — its outer boundary, or point of no return — the same physics that causes Earth's ocean tides begins to take ...

Despite their research south of Tasmania they still do not understand why bright corals can survive in a pitch-black world far beneath the surface of the ocean.

located up to 7 miles below the ocean's surface off the coast of Peru and Chile. A group of 40 scientists from 17 different nations teamed up to search the freezing, pitch-black area, using ...

Haller and Beron-Vera discovered similar closed barriers around select ocean eddies. In these barriers, fluid particles move around in closed loops – similar to the path of light in a photon sphere.
