Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus "sinks." ...

Iron oxides act as natural catalysts to unlock phosphorus to fuel plant growth. Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus ...

A new sustainable method that simplifies phosphorus found in soil could potentially boost food production while at the same time, minimize fertilizer waste. The method involves the use of zinc oxide ...

“Basically, the minerals can recycle phosphorus from DNA and RNA molecules. But not all organic phosphorus is released in the solution because it is stuck to the surface. The X-ray technique allowed ...

Metal oxides are a promising catalyst for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to produce hydrogen as alternative energy. However, their effectiveness is restricted at low voltage. A ...

Phosphorus recovery from steelmaking slag has emerged as a promising avenue in the context of sustainable ... this refers to the ratio of basic (e.g. CaO) to acidic (e.g. SiO2) oxides, ...

Metal oxides are a promising catalyst for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to produce hydrogen as alternative energy. However, their effectiveness is restricted at low voltage. A ...

Plants and microbes are known to secrete enzymes to transform organic phosphorus into bioavailable inorganic phosphorus. Now, researchers report iron oxides can drive the same conversion at ...
