A team led by Professor Osami Shoji at Nagoya University in Japan has developed a technology to convert methane, the principal component of natural gas, into methanol at room temperature in water.

The “amino-acid-modified ice” quickly captures methane gas in a matter of minutes. Lab tests showed that the ...

Metal-organic frameworks can store huge amounts of gas in a tiny space—enabling advances that could help humans fight climate ...

Scientists have worked for years to reduce methane emissions from cattle burps by changing what cattle eat, or through research on vaccines, genetic modification of cattle and even forehead-mounted ...

They feast on bubbles of methane seeping out of the ocean floor. Could their appetites be harnessed to slow climate change?

If you have ever cooked on a gas stove or seen a flame flicker to life with the turn of a knob, you have seen natural gas in ...

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 ...

The following transcript has been edited for clarity and length. Imagine you’re flying through our atmosphere in a spaceship the size of an atom. As you cruise through this tiny world, you pass more ...

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has made the first detection ever of an organic molecule in a planet orbiting another star. This breakthrough is an important step in eventually identifying signs ...
