Ever wondered how the food on your plate reaches you? A major credit goes to a century-old process called the Haber-Bosch process. It's a chemical reaction that produces ammonia — one of the key ...

University of Miami chemistry professor Carl Hoff stands with Oswaldo Guio, one of his graduate students, in front of a Retsch MM500 machine. As we head into the South Florida rainy season and the ...

Industrial production of ammonia, primarily for synthetic fertilizer — the fuel for last century’s Green Revolution — is one of the world’s largest chemical markets, but also one of the most energy ...

Fritz Haber: good guy or bad guy? He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 for his part in developing the Haber-Bosch process, a method for generating ammonia using the nitrogen gas in air. The ...

A cross-section through a porous metal-organic framework, showing the copper atoms (orange) that are constrained in a rigid structure by organic linker molecules, cyclohexanedicarboxylate, that ...

The last time you scrubbed a streaky window or polished a porcelain appliance, you probably used a chemical called ammonia.

Gordon Cope, Contributing Editor, examines how the fertilizer industry must adapt to meet rising supply and demand whilst reducing its environmental impact.

Synthesizing ammonia, the key ingredient in fertilizer, is energy intensive and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas warming of the planet. Chemists designed and synthesized porous materials -- ...
