A team of researchers at Radboud University has discovered a promising new method to make ammonia—a key ingredient in ...

Ammonia is produced on a massive scale around the world. Over 250 million tons of it were manufactured in 2023. Eighty ...

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 ...

Ammonia is predicted to become the leading fuel source for the world’s giant cargo ships by 2050. Yet no vessel actually runs on the pungent, carbonless compound today. In labs and shipyards around ...

Nanocrystals (left) capture light (hv) and then transfer electrons (e-) to nitrogenase enzymes (upper right) to convert dinitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3). A sacrificial reaction (bottom right) ...

The world depends on ammonia as a fertilizer and for use in myriad other industries, but its production heavily depends on fossil fuels. Making the compound releases more than 450 million metric tons ...

The production of ammonia, a major ingredient in fertilizers, involves greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists have quantified ways to reduce carbon impacts in this process. Scientists evaluate how to ...

Ammonia is one of the most widely produced chemicals in the world, used mostly as fertilizer, but also for the production of some plastics, textiles, and other applications. Its production, through ...

As wind and solar power make up an increasingly large share of energy production in the U.S., finding ways to store the intermittent energy they create is critical for when the wind isn’t blowing and ...
