We here on Earth live at the bottom of an ocean of nitrogen. Nearly 80% of every breath we take is nitrogen, and the element is a vital component of the building blocks of life. Nitrogen is critical ...

Ammonia - a colorless gas essential for things like fertilizer - can be made by a new process which is far cleaner, easier and cheaper than the current leading method. UTokyo researchers use readily ...

Industrial production of ammonia, primarily for synthetic fertilizer — the fuel for last century’s Green Revolution — is one of the world’s largest chemical markets, but also one of the most energy ...

The Haber–Bosch process for making ammonia has been world-changing, but is highly energy-intensive owing to the high temperatures and pressures involved. A detailed understanding of the catalytic ...

Addis Energy announced it has raised $8.3 MM in an oversubscribed seed round, bringing the company’s total funding to date to $17.3 MM. The round was led by At One Ventures, with existing investors ...

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 ...
