Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that is second only to carbon dioxide in driving up global temperatures. But it doesn’t linger in the atmosphere for long thanks to molecules called hydroxyl ...

Atmospheric methane levels have surged to record highs in recent years and are projected to increase by as much as 13% by ...

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 ...

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 ...

The researchers estimate that sewer systems release 1.18 to 1.95 million tons of methane worldwide each year. The finding suggests that wastewater management contributes more to greenhouse gas ...

Scientists found methane escaping from beneath Greenland glaciers, suggesting the ice sheet once retreated much farther than ...
