The race to explore the deep ocean: four technologies transforming research

The deep ocean remains one of the last frontiers for scientific exploration, with less than 0.001% of the sea floor mapped. Exciting new technologies, like advanced drilling and seismic sensors, are set to unlock the mysteries of the ocean's depths. For instance, ocean-bottom seismometers are helping researchers understand the mantle's convection processes, likened to a lava lamp! Plus, the upcoming research ship Meng Xiang aims to drill deeper than ever before, potentially collecting pristine mantle samples.
