University of Sydney researchers have harnessed human-made lightning to develop a more efficient method of generating ammonia ...

We currently use a lot of ammonia to produce fertilizer, refrigerants, and other chemicals, and unfortunately rely heavily on ...

During the Haber-Bosch process, ammonia is produced by combining nitrogen and hydrogen gases under intense heat and pressure.

Australian scientists have discovered a method to produce ammonia—an essential component in fertilizers—using only air and electricity. By mimicking lightning and channeling that energy through a ...

We can hear sound due to the vibration of sound waves. Learn more and explore sound with ECHO’s Science Spotlight activity you can do at home.

Scientists have figured out how to use nanopores to make electricity from thin air. These 100nm pores harvest electricity from water molecules in the air.

With one-third the gravity of Earth, the red planet has a harder time holding onto its air molecules. Gravity’s pull on the air column is weaker, so the air pressure is lower and the molecules ...

I enjoy the quiet and calm of the falling snow. Freshly fallen snow absorbs sound. The air pockets between snowflakes actually trap soundwaves and lessen noise vibrations.

May 6, 2002 -- There's something in the air and while it may not be love, some say it's the next best thing -- negative ions. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we ...

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