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 ...

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 -- ...

Jupiter Ionics in Melbourne, Australia, spun off from Monash University, Melbourne, in 2021. It is a curious quirk of chemistry that when lithium atoms work together, they can break one of the ...

Humans weren’t the first organisms on this planet to figure out how to turn the abundance of nitrogen in the atmosphere into a chemically useful form; that honor goes to some microbes that learned how ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — There’s a good chance you owe your existence to the Haber-Bosch process. This industrial chemical reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen produces ammonia, the key ingredient to ...

There’s a good chance you owe your existence to the Haber-Bosch process. This industrial chemical reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen produces ammonia, the key ingredient to synthetic fertilizers ...

Ammonia is crucial in many parts of the food industry, including food safety and the production of fertilisers. A new study looks at different ways to capture it. The chemical ammonia has many uses, a ...

Ammonia may conjure thoughts of off odors, but the world is entirely dependent on the smelly stuff as a fertilizer and for use in myriad other industries. Problem is, nearly all the ammonia produced ...

Combining research from MIT’s Dr. Iwnetim Abate with 15 years of oil and gas experience, the company is creating geologic ammonia that unlocks lowest-cost, abundant energy. CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS ...

Ammonia has enormous potential as a fuel of the future, but most current production methods make it a dirty source of energy. Yet a new method from MIT that would derive the compound using the Earth's ...
