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

New study notes that warming boosts and weakens the molecule that removes 90% of atmospheric methane simultaneously.

A team led by Professor Osami Shoji at Nagoya University in Japan has developed a technology to convert methane, the principal component of natural gas, into methanol at room temperature in water.

Scientists have found a new type of iron-storing protein in a mixture of microbes containing methane-degraders. This ...

Turning methane into ethylene with sunlight sounds like alchemy, but it is rapidly moving into the realm of practical chemistry. A new generation of solar-driven catalysts promises to convert a potent ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to ...

Taking a leaf out of the book of plants, scientists have used a photosynthesis blueprint to harness the power of sunlight and turn two of the most destructive greenhouse gases into useful, prized ...

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 ...

Astronomers studying the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS have identified methanol, hydrogen cyanide, and methane in its chemical ...
