A team of chemists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has succeeded in pulling an oxygen atom from a molecule and replacing it with a nitrogen atom. In their study, published in ...

With a new electrochemical synthesis via an electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), achieving carbon-free ammonia ...

Hexanitrogen is a newly synthesized molecule composed entirely of nitrogen atoms, making it the first known neutral polynitrogen species other than N₂. It stores a large amount of energy in its ...

One small atom can make a big difference in a molecule’s pharmacological properties. Especially if that atom is a nitrogen. Chemists at the University of Oklahoma have now unveiled a new strategy for ...

Ammonia (NH₃) is vital for agriculture, as it is the basis for fertilizers that are needed to feed the world's population. Currently, ammonia is mostly produced by the Haber-Bosch process, which turns ...

Scientists have identified only the second known stable nitrogen molecule: hexanitrogen. Plus, much of the hunting driving pangolins to extinction in Nigeria is for food, not scales and an emergency ...
