Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have synthesized unique scandium polynitrides under extreme conditions, with exotic chemistry and potential applications as high-energy-density materials.

The nitrogen cycle is a critical component of Earth's ecosystem, playing an essential role in sustaining life. However, human activity has significantly disrupted the natural balance of the nitrogen ...

Tackling pollution from the emission of nitrogen compounds, particularly ammonia, could reduce many of the 23.3 million years of life that were lost prematurely across the world in 2013 due to ...

Researchers have reported the production of the first pure polymeric nitrogen compound at near-ambient conditions. The substance, which has existed only in theory for the last three decades, is ...

Scientists have long theorized that the energy stored in the atomic bonds of nitrogen could one day be a source of clean energy. But coaxing the nitrogen atoms into linking up has been a daunting task ...

Researchers have produced two surprising compounds of nitrogen and the rare earth metal yttrium under very high pressure. The new polynitrides contain ring- and spiral-shaped crystal structures of ...

Ammonia (NH3) is a colorless chemical compound comprised of nitrogen and hydrogen that is widely used in agriculture and in ...

Climate change is not only warming the planet and disrupting rainfall, it is also quietly rewiring the way nitrogen moves ...

There was a 14% increase in sales of fertiliser containing nitrogen in the last full sales year compared to the previous ...

Researchers at the University of Helsinki’s chemistry department have created a novel material that captures carbon dioxide ...

Earlier this week, NASA revealed that researchers have detected more organic compounds in the plumes of water jetting from the surface of Enceladus, the icy moon orbiting the planet Saturn. The new ...
