Ambient nitrogen reduction cycle using a hybrid inorganic–biological system
Open accessAbstract
Significance: The nitrogen cycle and the fixation of atmospheric N 2 into ammonium are crucial to global food production. The industrial Haber–Bosch process facilitates half the global nitrogen fixation in the form of ammonia but it is energy- and resource-intensive, using natural gas as the source of energy and hydrogen at elevated temperature and pressure. Our alternative approach synthesizes ammonium from N 2 and H 2 O at ambient conditions powered by water splitting, which may be driven renewably. The inorganic–biological hybrid system fixes atmospheric nitrogen into NH 3 or soluble biomass with high fluxes and energy efficiency. Simultaneously, this system cultivates a living soil bacterium that acts as a potent biofertilizer amenable to boosting crop yields.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
