These included studies in the aerobic nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii by the late Dalton and inorganic chemistry studies related to N 2 fixation by Mingos, Heaton, and Paske.

Yale University scientists may have cracked a part of the chemical code for one of the most basic, yet mysterious, processes in the natural world — nature’s ability to transform nitrogen from the air ...

A study found that we have overestimated how much nitrogen enters natural ecosystems from the air. It has climate implications.

APART from the various physico-chemical methods used in industry for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, it is well known that quite a number of micro-organisms1 are able to fix under mild ...

Toward that end they used global circulation models showing how ocean waters mix as well as chemical signals in the water to reveal where nitrogen fixation is likely occurring, according to their ...

Nitrogen gas is converted to ammonia fertilizer by a chemical process that involves high temperature and high pressure. Nature does the same thing at ambient temperature and pressure. The process ...

Fertilizers are one of the main reasons that we are able to grow enough crops to feed the almost 8 billion humans living on Earth. Modern agriculture depends largely on nitrogen-based fertilizers ...
