NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane gas in the coma of comet 3I/ATLAS, marking the first time this ...
The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. When molecules collide with surfaces, a complex exchange of ...
Alberto Borges, oceanographer at the University of Liège, has conducted a comparative study in Belgium and Africa on the ...
Chemical engineers designed a catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers, which could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas ...
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 ...
In the spring of 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic brought global industry and travel nearly to a halt, satellite sensors recorded a dramatic plunge in nitrogen dioxide, a byproduct of internal ...
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 ...
Wetlands are a significant producer of methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide. Yet not all of it escapes ...
In the upper layer of Titan's atmosphere, visible here in blue light, methane molecules are being dissociated by sunlight and recombining into ethane and acetylene molecules. Further down, the orange ...
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 ...
