Methane gas, produced naturally by decaying ... of that energy at a very distinct wavelength, depending on its chemical structure. By detecting those dips in the energy inside the chamber, each ...

The direct conversion of methane (CH4) into high-value-added multi-carbon (C2+) oxygenates, such as acetic acid (CH3COOH), ...

The problem is that the chemical structure of methane is so stable that it does not easily react to other substances. So far, methane has been used primarily as fuel for heating and transportation.

In view of the discovery by Clusius of a transformation-point of solid methane at 20.4° K, it was interesting to investigate if there is a change of crystal structure or not. Heuse made a ...

To see if such life forms are even possible, the researchers screened for potential chemical compounds found in cryogenic methane that could assemble themselves into membrane-like structures.

“CO 2 you can capture from the air or you can capture from flue gas because it has a chemical structure that allows you to kind of put a ‘hook’ on it, but the methane molecule does not ...

This Martian methane mystery poses an interesting challenge for scientists. On one hand, there are known chemical reactions that can take the molecules known to exist on Mars and turn them into ...
