UCF researchers utilized the James Webb Space Telescope to uncover unique characteristics of (2060) Chiron, a distant "centaur" that exhibits traits of both a comet and an asteroid. These findings ...

Cambridge tech company is turning waste methane into "green" products to help meet climate targets.

Ever since the discovery of methane on Mars, scientists have wondered if the Red Planet might harbor life. Now, researchers ...

Methane is the most famous volatile organic compound (VOC) in our atmosphere. This week, our host George Zaidan follows up on ...

First: are these seeps all connected and being fed from the same reservoir of methane? Samples taken from the sites will allow them to analyse the chemical signatures of the methane. Isotopic analysis ...

Chemical engineers are problem solvers - they bring new medicines to market, develop alternative fuels, keep food manufacturing safe, and create new manufacturing materials. They move small-scale ...

Nitrogen and oxygen, the two most abundant atmospheric gases, have two atoms each per molecule. CO2 has three atoms, as does water vapour (H2O), while methane (CH4) has five. Thus methane has much ...

so the concentration of methane would increase. However, chemical reactions among compounds in the atmosphere are notoriously complicated. While the 2022 study used a "four-equation model," Chen ...

Ammonia is a chemical more essential than many realize. It forms the basis of synthetic fertilizers used in agriculture worldwide, meaning billions of people depend on it. Unfortunately, ammonia ...

Texas regulators are taking public comment about how they should implement an EPA rule to reduce methane leaks from the oil and gas industry. Audio recording is automated for accessibility.

And the only winner on the chemical control treadmill is the pharmaceutical industry and we are lining their pockets.” Some farmers, it seems, share this sentiment when it comes to methane ...

CHEMICAL engineers from MIT have designed a catalyst that can convert methane into polymers, in a process they predict will turn methane “into something useful”. Converting methane, which is typically ...
