[13-Aug-18] Before heading to the ocean's Twilight Zone, National Science Foundation and EXPORTS scientists build an enclosed, air-tight "bubble" in which to work. The bubble is filled with air from a lab aboard ship. This safe, clean area will help protect samples from contamination while the most sensitive measurements are conducted.
