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 ...

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

The arrangement of nitrogen atoms in the hexazine anion is similar to that of carbon atoms in benzene, an aromatic compound that is ubiquitous in nature. Although the term "aromatic" originally ...

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 ...

A new method to capture carbon dioxide from the air has been developed at the University of Helsinki's chemistry department.

Successful reduction of the chemical manufacturing industry’s environmental impact relies on finding a greener way to make the chemical building blocks for common and massively consumed compounds.

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 ...

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

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