NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, marking the first time this gas has ...

it was likely hidden beneath the surface until solar heat reached deeper icy layers.

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 ...

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

As wind turbines spin and solar panels soak up sunlight, one major problem continues to shadow the clean energy transition: ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Every time a cow burps or passes gas, a little puff of methane wafts into the atmosphere. Each of those puffs coming out of a cow’s plumbing, added together, can have a big effect on climate because ...

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 ...
