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 ...

University of Chicago scientists are studying two possible ways to easily replace a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom in a molecule. Doing so would mean a huge breakthrough in pharmaceutical chemistry, ...

Chemists offer two new methods to develop a way to easily replace a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom in a molecule. The findings could make it easier to develop new drugs. For years, if you asked the ...

The discovery of non-cyanobacteria diazotrophs underneath Arctic sea ice could change our understanding of the food web, as well as the ocean's carbon budget.

Bacteria are only the only organisms that are able to 'fix' nitrogen, or remove it from the atmosphere and convert it into a useful form. While some plants seem to fix nitrogen, it is actually ...

A team of scientists at the University of Manchester created a molecule capable of remembering magnetic information at the highest temperature ever recorded, in what could prove a major boon for the ...

For years, if you asked the people working to create new pharmaceutical drugs what they wished for, at the top of their lists would be a way to easily replace a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom in a ...
