Climate change is not only warming the planet and disrupting rainfall, it is also quietly rewiring the way nitrogen moves through the world’s croplands, forests, and grasslands. This hidden shift in ...

By resurrecting a 3.2-billion-year-old enzyme and studying it inside living microbes, researchers at the University of ...

Nitrogen, upon which all life on Earth depends, may hold the key for explaining how early life on the planet evolved and how it could evolve on other planets.

Human activities add large quantities of nitrogen to the environment, much of which gets washed into streams and rivers.

You probably thought of a clear and flawless gemstone used in jewellery. But to a physicist, a perfect diamond might actually be quite boring. Something magical happens when the diamond is just a ...

Researchers use synthetic biology to reverse-engineer modern nitrogenases and rebuild their possible ancestors, in an effort to better understand the origins of life on Earth and beyond.

Identification of a nitric oxide-regulated transitional state of Müller glia reveals a key mechanism enabling neuronal regeneration in the injured vertebrate retina.

Heat-resilient biofertilizers could help crops cope with rising temperatures but engineering them has been slow and uncertain. A new study at the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology ...
