The high bond energy of N 2 makes its π orbitals challenging to activate directly. The research team introduced an aromatic ...

In this regime, electrons flow through the island one by one, with some k B T of energy being extracted every time an electron leaves, where k B is the Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature.

realised a key component was missing from the nitrogen cycle equations. The biochemical equations would not balance unless he explicitly accounted for the transfer of electrons between compounds ...

Breakthrough in N 2 activation! This study unveils an electron catalysis strategy that directly converts N 2 into azo compounds under mild conditions—a game-changer for nitrogen fixation.
