Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus "sinks." ...

All around the Universe, clouds of gas and dust swirl between stars, hiding tiny, reactive molecules that could hold answers to some of life’s biggest questions. Among them are strange compounds ...

Low phosphorus burial in shallow marine sedimentary rocks before about 750 million years ago implies a change in the global phosphorus cycle, coinciding with the end of what may have been a stable ...

Finding abiotic pathways of producing bioavailable phosphorus in the natural environment has important implications for how researchers understand the phosphorus cycle, says Elizabeth Herndon, an ...

Disrupting Earth’s chemical cycles brings trouble. But planet-warming carbon dioxide isn’t the only element whose cycle we’ve turned wonky—we’ve got a phosphorus problem too. And it’s ...

Black phosphorus doesn't mind water (if it is de-aerated) Date: December 1, 2016 Source: Institute for Basic Science Summary: Researchers have disproved the idea that water degrades black ...
