Microbial research unravels a global nitrogen mystery

Novel research led by Wei Qin, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Oklahoma, that significantly changes the understanding of ammonia oxidation, a critical component of the global nitrogen cycle, has ...

New sustainable way to synthesize vital fertilizer

QUT scientists have discovered how to produce the vital agricultural fertilizer urea at room temperature without the large energy input of the traditional production process of synthetic urea.

How urea may have been the gateway to life

Researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Geneva have developed a new method that allows them to observe chemical reactions taking place in liquids at extremely high temporal resolution. This means they can examine ...

Multi-heterointerfaces for selective and efficient urea production

A major impediment to industrial urea synthesis is the lack of catalysts with high selectivity and activity. Prof. Yuliang Li (Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and coworkers reported a new catalyst system ...
