Global ammonia capacity is projected to increase by over 25% from 2025 to 2030, with North America leading due to high fertilizer demand. The versatile petrochemical's applications span agriculture, ...

Researchers use lightning-like plasma tech to make green ammonia cheaper, aiming to replace fossil fuels and the Haber-Bosch process.

Imagine a Slushee™ composed of ammonia and water encased in a hard shell of water ice. Now picture these ice-encrusted slushballs, dubbed "mushballs," raining down like hailstones during a ...

The weather forecast for Jupiter calls for clouds with a chance of lightning and "mushballs"—a slushy mix of ammonia and water encased in a hard water ice shell that rain down like hail here on ...

Imagine a Slushee composed of ammonia and water encased in a hard shell of water ice. Now picture these ice-encrusted slushballs, dubbed "mushballs," raining down like hailstones during a ...

At those altitudes, the ice mixes with ammonia vapor, which acts like antifreeze and melts the ice into a slushy liquid. As the particles continue to rise and fall, they grow larger — like hailstones ...
