Underwater robot offers new insight into mid-ocean “twilight zone”

“Mesobot is an underwater robot capable of capturing [important data] in the mid-ocean known as the “twilight zone”… [allowing] scientists to study a relatively unknown part of the ocean and the creatures that live there, [and] enable greater understanding of the ‘biological carbon pump,’ in which animals transport carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the deep sea.” - Excerpt from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
