Deep-sea hydrothermal-vent ecosystems have stimulated decades of scientific research and
hold promise of mineral and genetic resources that also serve societal needs. Some …

The deep sea is often viewed as a vast, dark, remote, and inhospitable environment, yet the
deep ocean and seafloor are crucial to our lives through the services that they provide. Our …

The high temperatures of sea-floor hydrothermal vents make them good targets for the
exploitation of thermal energy. Taking advantage of this prospect, this study developed a …

Submarine hydrothermal fluids contain substantial energy, and temperature differences with
the surrounding cold seawater can provide energy for seabed observations and submarine …

Long-term in situ monitoring is crucial to seafloor scientific investigations. One of the
challenges of operating sensors in seabed is the lifespan of the sensors. Such sensors are …
