Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas that also affects the ozone layer. To better understand how N2O is produced and consumed in soils, oceans, the atmosphere, and wastewater, scientists measure its isotopes—slightly different forms of the same molecule that reveal its sources and transformation processes. Until now, making these measurements has often been complex and slow.…
