In this technique, fluorine-based plasma chemistry is used for silicon etching, which is combined with a fluorocarbon plasma process to offer sidewall passivation and enhanced selectivity to masking ...

Fixation of Nitrogen (N2) to Ammonia (NH3) is an essential process for maintaining life on earth. Currently, Ammonia (NH3) production is dominated by the Haber–Bosch process. It operates under ...

Researchers have developed a method to produce ammonia simply from air and water. Not only is it more energy efficient than the century-old Haber-Bosch process currently in use all over the world, but ...

Sunlight, water, air and metal-organic catalysts—that could be all it takes. TU Wien has shown how catalyst design can be ...

Deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) is a highly anisotropic plasma etching process that creates deep, near-vertical features in silicon and related microfabrication materials. DRIE extends ordinary ...

Scientists at Australia's Monash University claim to have made a critical breakthrough in green ammonia production that could displace the extremely dirty Haber-Bosch process, with the potential to ...

In America, corn syrup is king, and real sugar hovers somewhere around prince status. We’re addicted to corn, and corn, in turn, is addicted to nitrogen. A long time ago, people figured out that by ...

New research has resulted in a greater understanding of how the Haber-Bosch process converts nitrogen to ammonia. For the past 100 years, the Haber-Bosch process has been used to convert atmospheric ...

Ammonia is one of the most important chemicals in modern society. It is obtained using the process developed by Carl Bosch 150 years ago. The chemist and process engineer Carl Bosch was born in ...

1874: Carl Bosch, a chemist whose work would transform agriculture and industry -- and eventually enable the Green Revolution -- is born. Bosch's contribution to humanity was the development of the ...
