Through a combination of high-pressure experiments and optical spectroscopy, physicists have revealed new insights into the ...

Methane emissions are a hot topic—largely because it’s a big contributor to climate change. Methane makes up about 10% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. 27% of that comes from the burps of ...

A powerful eye in the sky is helping scientists spy “super-emitters” of methane, a greenhouse gas about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. That observer is NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust ...

Expansion of shale gas extraction has fuelled global concern about the potential impact of fugitive methane on groundwater and climate. Although methane leakage from wells is well documented, the ...

Researchers have created a material that catalyzes the burning of methane 30 times better than do currently available catalysts. As the world's accessible oil reserves dwindle, natural gas has become ...

The Energy Department division that has doled out billions to projects including a squid-skin inspired shirt to regulate body temperature is training its sights on a new target: reducing the emission ...

The Raman spectra of the quenched sample show a diversity of various products depending on the highest temperature to which the sample was exposed (Fig. 2b). The Raman signal from methane remains in ...

BEIJING -- China has successfully performed the first in-orbit ignition test in the Mengtian space lab module's combustion cabinet, according to the Technology and Engineering Center for Space ...
