Researchers may have just spotted the elusive, ephemeral nucleus of nitrogen-9 for the first time. With seven protons and two neutrons, the lopsided atomic nucleus of nitrogen-9 pushes the limits of ...

A research team led by Prof. Wang Wenzhong from the School of Earth and Space Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with international scholars, ...

Nitrogen isotope geochemistry in subduction zones investigates how nitrogen, a critical volatile for life and climate, is cycled between Earth’s surface and its deep interior. As oceanic plates ...

Human activities have dramatically altered the Earth’s nitrogen cycle since the Industrial Revolution, driving pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate feedbacks. A new scientific review highlights ...

What can volcanism on the early Earth teach us about the formation of life on our planet? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as an international team of ...

Microbes emit nitrogen oxides, or NO x. This is important because it involves surface-earth nitrogen (N) cycle, which strongly interacts with environmental quality, food production, biosphere and ...

Different isotopes of nitrogen in ammonia molecules on a distant brown dwarf could hold clues about how giant planets form. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
