Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that is second only to carbon dioxide in driving up global temperatures. But it doesn't ...

Methane hydrate has garnered considerable research attention owing to its potential as an energy source. Now, researchers from Japan use one-dimensional model-based numerical simulations to understand ...

They tuned methane molecules to specific quantum states, scattered them off a gold (Au) surface, and measured their states after the collision. The results, published in Science, revealed clear ...

AMES, Iowa – Methane, which produces more warming than other greenhouse gases and is the subject of newly announced U.S. emission restrictions, is hard to break down and keep out of the atmosphere. It ...

Scientists have unveiled a breakthrough way to turn natural gas—long burned as fuel—into valuable chemical building blocks for medicines and other high-demand products. By designing a clever ...

Methane (CH 4) is a potent greenhouse gas. Although it is short-lived compared to carbon dioxide (methane stays in the atmosphere for about seven to ten years, while carbon dioxide can remain for over ...
