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. Their findings were published online in ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

But where black phosphorus is stable, the structure of black nitrogen quickly dissipates when either the pressure or the heat lets up. That’s not to say there’s no possible application, but ...
