Modern intensive agricultural practices face numerous challenges that pose major threats to
global food security. In order to address the nutritional requirements of the ever-increasing …

Gases like H2, N2, CO2, and CO are increasingly recognized as critical feedstock in “green”
energy conversion and as sources of nitrogen and carbon for the agricultural and chemical …

NH 3 production is dependent on the century-old Haber-Bosch process, which is energy and
capital intensive and relies on H 2 from steam reforming, hence, contributing to greenhouse …

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a cornerstone reaction for a variety of electrochemical
energy conversion and storage systems such as water splitting, CO2/N2 reduction …

Nitrogen is a fundamental constituent for all living creatures on the Earth and modern
industrial society. The current nitrogen industry is largely powered by fossil fuels with huge …

Nitrogenase is the enzyme that catalyzes biological N2 reduction to NH3. This enzyme
achieves an impressive rate enhancement over the uncatalyzed reaction. Given the high …

Nitrogen fixation, the six-electron/six-proton reduction of N2, to give NH3, is one of the most
challenging and important chemical transformations. Notwithstanding the barriers …

The reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia by nitrogenase reflects a complex choreography
involving two component proteins, MgATP and reductant. At center stage of this process …

With rapid recent advances in quantum technology, we are close to the threshold of
quantum devices whose computational powers can exceed those of classical …

Nitrogenases uniquely reduce atmospheric N2 to bioavailable ammonium. They group into
three isoforms that primarily differ in the architecture of their active-site cofactors. A …
