Move over, cyanobacteria! A large-scale study of the Earth’s surface ocean indicates the microbes responsible for fixing nitrogen there—previously thought to be almost exclusively photosynthetic ...

Earth is bathed in nitrogen. It makes up about 78% of the atmosphere, and it’s stitched into every nucleotide, every cell, every living thing on the planet. But before humans learned to synthesize ...

New research has resulted in a greater understanding of how the Haber-Bosch process converts nitrogen to ammonia. For the past 100 years, the Haber-Bosch process has been used to convert atmospheric ...

These problems typically originate on the compressed air side: frequent equipment cycling, insufficient buffering, or limited flow regulation capability. A nitrogen generator cannot stabilize ...

Nitrogen-based synthetic fertilizer forms the backbone of the world food supply, but its manufacture requires a tremendous amount of energy. Now, computer modeling at Princeton University points to a ...

A research team from the Institute of Applied Ecology (IAE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has clarified how deposited nitrogen is retained in forest ecosystems and how this process contributes to ...
