Researchers break bonds in molecular nitrogen with calcium

A research team has demonstrated that calcium, a metal commonly found in nature is able to break the highly-stable nitrogen bond and can do so at minus 60°C which is a significant discovery in terms of the bond-breaking capabilities of calcium, which had been largely disregarded in the past. But their findings could also form the basis for developing industrial processes in the future.
