A Texas A&M research team has developed synthetic lichens that could be the answer to self-growing structures on Mars.

Nitrogen finally joins the elite tier of elements like carbon that can form neutral allotropes—different structural forms of a single chemical element. Researchers from Justus Liebig University, ...

The dinitrogen molecule, which was first identified in the late 18th century, owes its extreme stability to its triple bond. Therefore, whereas atoms like carbon can exist in multiple allotropes, no ...

A critical chemical bond can be assembled using dinitrogen (N 2)—a molecule freely available in the air around us—chemists at RIKEN have shown 1. This demonstration has the potential to make the ...

Most nitrogen-fixing bacteria have mechanisms to regulate dinitrogen use when fixed sources of nitrogen are available, alleviating the high energetic cost of this process.

Nitrogenase ancestors are active and robust to variable incorporation of one or more ancestral protein subunits. Further, we find that all ancestors exhibit the reversible enzymatic mechanism for ...

The researchers exposed thale cress, a small plant commonly used as a model system for scientific research, to dinitrogen pentoxide gas for 20 seconds a day for three days. The plants were then ...
