Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth. While about 80% of earth is nitrogen, it is mostly contained in the atmosphere as gas, and hence, inaccessible to plants. To boost plant growth, ...

The Asian tropopause aerosol layer (ATAL) is located at twelve to 18 kilometers height above the Middle East and Asia. This accumulation of aerosols in the Asian monsoon was discovered first in 2011.

Despite the importance of changes in root architecture to exploit local nutrient patches, mechanisms integrating external nutrient signals into the root developmental program remain poorly understood.

Ammonia is a chemical essential to many agricultural and industrial processes, but it’s mode of production comes with an incredibly high energy cost. Various attempts have, and are, being made to ...

Ammonia is a simple molecule, but it plays a critical role in feeding the world. As the main ingredient in fertilizers used to grow food for billions, ammonia helps sustain global agriculture. A new ...

Observations made with the High-Dispersion Spectrograph (HDS) of Subaru Telescope have, for the first time, allowed astronomers to measure the formation temperature of ammonia ice in a comet. The ...

An illustration of atmospheric inhomogeneities in a megacity, showing “large eddy simulations” of Hong Kong superimposed on a composite London skyline. The resulting inhomogeneities in ammonia and ...

Scientists report that the metal ruthenium, supported with lanthanide oxyhydrides, can efficiently catalyze the synthesis of ammonia at a much lower temperature than the traditional approach. In their ...
