By the beginning of June this year, approximately 38 million tons of Sargassum drifted towards the coasts of the Caribbean ...

Melting Arctic sea ice can be a driving force behind a process called nitrogen fixation, where atmospheric nitrogen can be ...

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.

Melting Arctic ice enables nitrogen-fixing microbes to feed algae and absorb carbon, challenging old climate views.

As Arctic sea ice melts, new life may emerge from the thaw. Researchers have discovered that bacteria beneath and along the melting ice are converting nitrogen gas into a form that fuels algae. The ...

Researchers are one step closer to understanding how some plants survive without nitrogen. Their work could eventually reduce ...

Gingko Bioworks is extending a partnership agreement with Bayer to continue developing microbial nitrogen fixation ...

Nitrogen fixation is surprisingly high in the ocean's coastal waters and may play a larger role than expected in carbon dioxide uptake, a new study shows. The findings -- based on thousands of samples ...

Researchers have taken a major step toward understanding how certain plants can thrive without chemically produced nitrogen.

Consider Carl Bosch our leading candidate for a modern Prometheus. This year marks a century since Bosch, a chemist, opened the Oppau, Germany-based Stickstoffwerke (“nitrogen works”)—the first ...
