Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have synthesized unique scandium polynitrides under extreme conditions, with exotic chemistry and potential applications as high-energy-density materials.
The nitrogen cycle is a critical component of Earth's ecosystem, playing an essential role in sustaining life. However, human activity has significantly disrupted the natural balance of the nitrogen ...
On a quiet weekend morning in a greenhouse in Aarhus University Flakkebjerg, rows of wheat plants stand with their roots submerged in clear water. There is no soil, no buffer, no automation to take ...

A collaborative research team has introduced a nitrogen-centric framework that explains the light-absorbing effects of atmospheric organic aerosols. This groundbreaking study reveals that ...
The deposition of atmospheric natural and anthropogenic substances released from continents and transported to the ocean surface has become an important pathway for supplying nutrients (e.g., N, P, Si ...
Catalysts with a metal-nitrogen bond can transfer nitrogen to organic molecules. In this process short-lived molecular species are formed, whose properties critically determine the course of the ...
A nifty move with nitrogen has brought the world one step closer to creating a range of useful products — from dyes to pharmaceuticals — out of thin air. The discovery comes from a team of Yale ...
Livestock agriculture faces mounting pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, particularly enteric methane, urinary ...
Humanity has an insatiable appetite for ammonia: this substance is used to make fertilizer, which in turn is used in most modern agriculture. Until now, the Haber-Bosch process has been the method of ...
The Dutch government is planning to set up low nitrogen zones around protected nature areas as part of its plan to bring ...
