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

This regioselective addition is driven by the high reactivity of the phosphorus atom in the structure, which is a key feature of polyaromatic hydrocarbons.

Phosphorus is important for the bone structure and for the balance of calcium levels in our body. It forms the structures of the teeth, bones and the cell membranes.

Tomatoes need a steady diet of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to grow the juiciest fruit. According to experts, there is ...

A long-sought-after black phosphorus-structured nitrogen was synthesized by an international team. This finding provides prospects for a new direction of nitrogen-based two-dimensional materials.

Here we report the profound and yet uncertain consequences of the human imprint on the phosphorus cycle and nitrogen:phosphorus stoichiometry for the structure, functioning and diversity of ...

Cubic gauche nitrogen with diamond-like structure and BP-N with black phosphorus structure, represented by polymeric all-nitrogen materials, are a class of high-energy density materials composed ...

Phosphorus, the 15th element on the periodic table, was first distilled by an alchemist searching for gold — searching, that is, in at least 60 buckets of urine. Hennig Brand, a German ...

For the first time, scientists have observed a phosphorus-containing lipid molecule that assembles by itself to form cubes. Research carried out at facilities including DESY has shown that the ...
