We here on Earth live at the bottom of an ocean of nitrogen. Nearly 80% of every breath we take is nitrogen, and the element is a vital component of the building blocks of life. Nitrogen is critical ...

Ammonia - a colorless gas essential for things like fertilizer - can be made by a new process which is far cleaner, easier and cheaper than the current leading method. UTokyo researchers use readily ...

Scientists develop metal-organic framework composites that convert nitrogen to ammonia using renewable electricity, offering ...

Synthesizing ammonia, the key ingredient in fertilizer, is energy intensive and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas warming of the planet. Chemists designed and synthesized porous materials -- ...

This story was originally published by WIRED and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Of all the elements that make up Earth's atmosphere, nitrogen is by far the most abundant ...

Now that the concept of sustainability has grabbed global attention, chemists are contemplating new strategies for developing chemical products and processes in a more sustainable way. But chemists ...

A reactor that uses steel balls to smash together nitrogen, hydrogen, and an iron catalyst can produce a continuous stream of ammonia, even at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The discovery ...
