For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

As one of promising metal gate materials, PVD TiN has widely been studied for conventional bulk-planar CMOS devices due to its high purity [1, 2]. However, there have been no systematical studies ...

Modern fertilizer manufacturing uses the Haber-Bosch and Ostwald processes to fix aerial nitrogen as ammonia, then oxidize ...

The photocatalytic activity of N-doped nanostructured TiO2 (TiO2:N) in the visible region strongly depends on the close, yet not fully understood, interplay among crystal structure distortions, nature ...

The threshold voltage shift (AVth) in amorphous InZnSnO thin-film transistors (a-IZTO TFTs) during negative gate-bias stress (NGBS) is significantly improved by nitrogen doping. Numerous N-In bonds ...

Nitrogen (N) equilibrium isotope fractionation (15α) involving gaseous, dissolved, and solid phases of ammonia (NH3) and ammonium (NH4+) (e.g., NH3(g)–NH3(aq)–NH4+(aq)–NH4+(s)) represents a ...

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, ...

Yet another death row inmate has been executed by an incredibly controversial method, with reports emerging that he was left 'convulsing' on the gurney for minutes before being declared dead. Gregory ...

As one of the longest-serving death row inmates was executed via nitrogen gas, we take a look at how the method actually works. On Tuesday (June 10), murderer Gregory Hunt took his final breaths after ...
