Scientists have unveiled a sunlight-powered catalyst that transforms methane—the main component of natural gas—directly into ethanol, a high-value liquid fuel and chemical feedstock. The new material, ...

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured a groundbreaking chemical fingerprint of Comet 3I/ATLAS, marking the ...

Cows are famous for belching methane, a heat-trapping gas that’s contributing to climate change. A single animal can burp 220 pounds of the gas in just one year. What’s more, methane is 28 times more ...

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-powered platform that could significantly speed up the discovery of catalysts for methane pyrolysis, a promising technology for producing ...

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 ...

New research has shown that fire-ice -- frozen methane which is trapped as a solid under our oceans -- is vulnerable to melting due to climate change and could be released into the sea. New research ...

The world has long lacked the data it needs to reduce emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. But that is changing.

A long metal box hooked to a jumble of hoses, gauges, and measuring instruments sits in a laboratory at the University of Copenhagen’s Chemistry Department. Inside, at one end, ultraviolet ...
