This undated handout picture released by the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) on January 20, 2026, shows a polymetallic nodule at Scotland House London in London. A team of scientists announced on January 20, 2026 they have developed new deep-sea landers specifically to test their contentious discovery that metallic rocks at the bottom of the ocean are producing "dark oxygen".
