Green nitrogen fixation technologies are currently being explored by established companies and by start-ups. Australian ...

Green nitrogen fixation has been identified as a promising frontier in advancing the hydrogen economy in Sarawak, said Datuk ...

Nitrogen fixation is a critical ecological process that converts atmospheric nitrogen into bioavailable forms, essential for plant growth and carbon ...

Nitrogen fixation in ambient conditions Date: November 12, 2018 Source: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Summary: Scientists have developed a uranium-based complex that allows nitrogen ...

A new study examined nitrogen fixation among diazotrophs--microorganisms that can convert nitrogen into usable form for other plants and animals -- living among sargassum. Sargassum, a brown ...

Such nitrogen fixation, as it is known, is a fundamental limit on plant growth and an essential nutrient for all life. Yet, this critically important cycle remains poorly understood.

Via CRISPR, scientists are looking to bring nitrogen fixation to more crops, reducing agriculture’s environmental impact on a larger scale. Role of CRISPR Technique in Sustainable Agriculture.

Food productivity is dependent on the availability of fertilizer, says Utah State University biochemist Lance Seefeldt. "We need nitrogen to survive, but we can't take it in from the air," says ...
