Tracing Nanoparticle-Fuelled Co-Mobilization Of Catalyst Metals Across Earth~S Deep-Sea Redox Interfaces To Pave The Way For Habitability Detection In Ocean Worlds
Research Paves The Way For Exploring The Habitability Of Ocean Worlds In Our Solar Systemredox Metals Such As Iron, Nickel, Copper And Manganese Stemming From Deep-Sea Interfaces Played A Pivotal Role In The Evolution Of Earth’S Biogeochemical Cycles And Life. The Chemical Reactions Behind Metabolism – Processes Occurring Within Living Organisms To Sustain Life – May Have Formed Spontaneously In Earth’S Oceans. The Reactions Taking Place In Water Were Accelerated By Metal Catalysts And Nanoparticles. The Eu-Funded Deeptrace Project Will Develop A Groundbreaking Mechanistic, Analytical And Predictive Framework For Describing The Mobilisation Of Metal Catalysts Across Earth’S Marine Redox Interfaces. Further Understanding Of Sub-Ocean Metal Redox Catalysis Underpinning Ecosystem Evolution In Earth’S Oceans Will Help Researchers Explore The Habitability Of Ocean Worlds In Our Solar System.
