Marine sediments play a pivotal role in the Earth’s carbon cycle by mediating the generation, migration and ultimate consumption of methane. Methane dynamics in these sediments are governed by complex ...

A study suggests the ice giants Uranus and Neptune aren't quite as watery as previously thought. They may also contain huge amounts of frozen methane, potentially solving the puzzle of how they formed ...

Gamma radiation can convert methane into a wide variety of products at room temperature, including hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing molecules, and amino acids, reports a research team. This type of ...

Methane is the second-largest contributor to climate warming after carbon dioxide, and so scientists have put a lot of attention toward addressing one of the top sources: methane emissions from ...

A fundamental challenge regarding management of coalbed methane (CBM) produced water is determining to what degree surface water and groundwater resources may be depleted, supplemented, degraded, or ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. – Using an infrared spectrometer on the Cassini-Huygens Spacecraft, researchers have measured the temperature, winds and chemical composition of Saturn, its rings and one of its ...

Global melting is prying the lid off methane stocks, the extent of which we do not know. A researcher has now discovered high concentrations of the powerful greenhouse gas in meltwater from three ...

Mars Express and Curiosity detected methane and long-chain organic molecules in Gale Crater, including decane, undecane, and dodecane analyzed by the SAM laboratory.
