Our story begins at the end of the 1980s, with a sheet of paper. On this sheet, a scientist calculated that the conversion of the chemical compound phosphite to phosphate would release enough energy ...

Phosphorus is a building block of all living cells. It is part of the structure of DNA. Cells use it to make membranes and many other molecules used in metabolism. In the earth's current environment, ...

Monopotassium phosphite is a chemical compound with the molecular formula KH 2 PO 3. It is a salt of phosphorous acid and is commonly used as a fertilizer in agriculture. Monopotassium phosphite ...

Electrical discharges have also been shown to induce the reduction of phosphate to phosphite under reducing atmospheric conditions 6. It was unclear, however, whether phosphate reduction would occur ...

Researchers successfully developed a biocontainment strategy for GMOs. Their new method prevents genetically modified microalgae from surviving outside of their test environment, enabling ways to more ...

An extremely safe and practical biocontainment strategy has been born. It is cost and time effective. Additionally, its simplicity means it can be adapted for other microorganisms, making it highly ...
