When the solvent evaporates, the phosphorous combines with oxygen in an exothermic reaction. The demonstration shown in this video is very dangerous. Do not attempt to perform this demonstration. The ...

American scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a groundbreaking new catalyst that ...

While methane is largely produced by agriculture, it is also a byproduct of natural gas transportation, storage, and ...

Today, the ‘Sabatier method’ remains the most popular approach for methane synthesis, but it is problematic for several reasons, explains Yakabe. For a start, the reaction isn’t very efficient.

Methane is the second-most important long-lived greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, and its impact on the climate is second only to that of carbon dioxide (CO 2). Human-caused CO 2 emissions are ...

In the reaction, the bonds in the methane and oxygen molecule come apart, the atoms rearrange and then re-bond to form water and carbon dioxide. The little number written at the lower right after an ...

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. But there are many other sources of methane emissions that have been more difficult to address because they are in settings and at levels ...

Methane emissions from coal mines make up a significant part of Australian's greenhouse gas footprint The amount of greenhouse gas leaking from Australian coal mines has been hugely under-reported ...
