Chemistry is everywhere and it helps us to understand the world around us. From materials, over biological processes to energy conversion. New breakthroughs in chemical research can have an impact on how we see the wold in the fundamental or derive new application for our everyday lives. In this podcast I talk to scientists and about their innovations in chemistry and the reactions behind them.

One chemical reaction to feed them all: The synthesis of ammonia
In this episode of Innovate and React, I delve into the groundbreaking discovery of the Haber-Bosch process, which revolutionized agriculture and the chemical industry by synthesizing ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen and hydrogen. Starting with a historical perspective from the 19th, the episode explores the pivotal contributions of Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch to the invention of the Haber-Bosch process. It covers the scientific challenges, innovations, and controversies surrounding Haber’s research, and how Bosch made the reaction viable for industrial scale. The episode also discusses the modern impact and future applications of ammonia in renewable energy systems.
