High-Tech Triton Scuba Mask Turns Humans Into Fish with Artificial Gills
Unlike other scuba diving gear, the Triton Scuba Mask is designed to offer you an indefinite stay underwater by stripping oxygen from the water around you like a real set of gills. It's based on a technology developed by a Korean scientist and employs a filter made up of threads woven together so tightly that whole water molecules aren't able to pass through. A powerful micro compressor then pulls the oxygen through the filter and stores it in a small breath-sized tank.

How NASA trains astronauts 40 feet underwater
When astronauts prepare for future missions to the International Space Station, the advance training for the specific tasks they'll carry out on the ISS is obviously crucial. But here on Earth, how do you mimic space's unique zero-gravity environment?

Hewitt Emerson stuffed himself into a wetsuit, took a deep breath and plunged from a barge into the murky black waters of the Edisto River.
