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.
Astronomers studying the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS have identified methanol, hydrogen cyanide, and methane in its chemical ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
On Monday, a SpaceX rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base. That's about an hour north of Santa Barbara, Calif. (SOUNDBITE OF ROCKET) MARTIN: The rocket carried dozens of satellites, but ...
