A hybrid catalytic system can synthesize the amino acid alanine directly from used bioplastic, air, and water ( Angew. Chem.

Globally, the Haber-Bosch process for making ammonia uses about 1% of all fossil fuels and produces 1% of all carbon dioxide emissions, making it a major contributor to climate change.

Scientists have developed lightning-produced ammonia in gas form – a new, more efficient method that is a step closer to the ...

A phosphonium salt speeds the delivery of protons and boosts the performance of an electrochemical Haber-Bosch process to record levels (Science, 2021 DOI: 10.1126/science.abg2371).

Ammonia, produced in the Haber-Bosch process, is currently one of the most essential base chemicals for the world to produce fertilizers, with an annual production of 110 million tones.

Billions of people rely on a single, hundred-year-old chemical reaction every day: the Haber-Bosch process. This simple, short reaction consumes 1% of the world’s energy supply and releases 2% ...

In its favor, the Haber-Bosch process was largely responsible for the Green Revolution of the middle 1900s, which helped catapult the global population.

The process that now famously bears his name was demonstrated to BASF in July 1909. However, its engineer was Haber's private assistant, Robert Le Rossignol, a young British chemist from the Channel ...
