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 ...

Because of its potent greenhouse properties, methane gas is a significant contributor to climate change. It also feeds microbes known as methanotrophs that convert the gas into carbon dioxide and ...

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

The James Webb Space Telescope observed a large amount of methane around 3I/ATLAS, revealing just how different it is from comets from our solar system.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
