NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane actively venting from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, a body whose ...

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 ...

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 ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected methane in the atmosphere of TOI-199 b, a Saturn-mass ...

A copper-based metal-organic framework (MOF) HKUST-1 exhibits high methane adsorption capacity, primarily due to strong Coulomb interactions near open metal sites (OMSs) and van der Waals interactions ...

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 ...

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 ...

This study presents a reduced ionic chemical kinetics mechanism for predicting combustion phasing in methane-fueled homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines. Starting from the detailed ...

The optimal design of a novel zeolite catalyst enables tandem reaction that turns greenhouse gases into value-added chemicals, report scientists. By tuning the separation between different active ...

Going straight up is hard. It takes a lot of energy. For those of us who enjoy hiking, cycling or running, hills are the bane of our existence. The hills sap us of our strength and speed, and they ...
