(Phys.org) —A trio of researchers at California Institute of Technology has developed an iron-based catalyst that allows for reducing dinitrogen (a normal nitrogen molecule with two atoms) to ammonia in a solution. In their ...
According to the theory, small clusters of molecules in the atmosphere have difficulty growing large enough to act as "cloud condensation nuclei" on which water droplets can gather to make our familiar low-altitude clouds. ...
