While the researchers initially hypothesized that the phosphorus compounds' surface structure would play a role, they did not ...

A new study overturns assumptions about how phosphorus becomes available in soils and sediments for plant growth.

The new compounds work by targeting and shutting ... Gilpatrick et al, Carbon–phosphorus stapled Au(i) anticancer agents via bisphosphine induced reductive elimination, Dalton Transactions ...

Scientists have uncovered that iron oxides, previously thought to trap phosphorus, actually help convert it into a ...

showing that it represents a new type of carbon-centered diradical with a single dative bond between the phosphorus and the terminal carbon. This is the first known compound where a carbon center ...

Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may also include any number of other elements (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur). Originally limited to the ...

Northwestern researchers made progress on new biochemical possibilities this week, in both the human brain and everyday ...

As a type of phosphorus compound, inorganic orthophosphate can be easily absorbed by plant roots and utilized for various cellular processes. “While phosphorus fertilizer boosts crop yields ...

Therefore, although the total amount of phosphorus in the soil may be high, in most cases it is unavailable for plant uptake. Here we report that plants' ability to use insoluble P compounds can ...
