Ammonia (NH3) is vital for agriculture, as it is the basis for fertilizers that are needed to feed the world's population.

A lightning-inspired process creates ammonia from air. The approach may support future green energy solutions. Researchers at ...

Ammonia (NH₃) is vital for agriculture, as it is the basis for fertilizers that are needed to feed the world's population. Currently, ammonia is ...

But nitrogen molecules in the air consist of two tightly bound nitrogen atoms. Only when these atoms are separated will they react with other elements and create forms of nitrogen useful to life ...

But now, researchers at the University of New South Wales, Sydney have developed an enhanced way to make green ammonia ...

Imagine the world’s most essential chemical could be made anywhere, from a bit more than air and electricity. In a Sydney laboratory, a two-stage process of plasma activation and membrane-based ...

Sustainable transportation: Clearing the air on nitrogen doping. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2021 / 01 / 210112110131.htm ...

But there’s a catch: most living things can’t use the nitrogen found in the air. Nitrogen gas molecules consist of two nitrogen atoms connected by a triple bond, the strongest type of chemical ...

“We use a plasma-based process that splits nitrogen molecules from air, reacts the nitrogen with oxygen, and forms nitrate fertilizers in water,” he explains.

Race cars and airplanes have used this technology for a long time. Now, filling your car’s tires with nitrogen, not just air, is the newest thing. It will cost you about $10 per tire. But if ...

Connect two nitrogen bricks to make a nitrogen molecule. Repeat with red oxygen bricks. Photo credit: Sandy Roberts, based on MIT Edgerton models. You should now have ten molecules: eight blue ...

Normal air—the stuff that blankets the Earth—is mostly nitrogen molecules, which make up about 79 percent of it. The rest is oxygen, at around 21 percent.
