Scientists have successfully enhanced cultivation of a microorganism that can fix nitrogen (N2) while producing methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH3) and investigated exciting details of its metabolism.

Researchers examined the saturation of gaseous nitrogen (N2) in 34 lakes in the upper Midwestern United States and found that 85.8% of the 247 water column samples from the lakes were supersaturated ...

For many industries, nitrogen (N₂) plays an unnoticed but vital role in inerting reactors, storing food safely, and protecting the sterility of pharmaceuticals. But what makes it dangerous is that ...

Considerable unexploited resources of natural gas in the US have been largely bypassed due to unacceptable levels of associated nitrogen (N 2), which lowers heat content. Natural gas that is laden ...
