A team at Northwestern University has figured out how to turn methane into methanol in a single step, at room temperature, ...

Enhancing with argon. To further enhance the process, the team diluted methane with argon, which is typically an inert noble ...

Tiny bolts of plasma, flickering inside a submerged glass tube, may have opened a new route for turning methane into liquid ...

By harnessing tiny bursts of plasma — or mini “lightning bolts” — in glass tubes submerged in water, the researchers ...

A small glass tube, a copper coating, and a burst of plasma no hotter than room temperature. That is the setup behind a new ...

On a calm day, a light breeze might barely ripple the surface of a lake on Earth. But on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, a ...

The team from Northwestern University has successfully converted methane directly into methanol without high heat and ...

The findings potentially resolve a long-standing issue with methanol conversion, which has tended to be clunky, inefficient, ...

Lightning in a bottle, in a literal sense, may be the key to new, clean energy by reducing carbon emissions in methanol ...

Methanol production consumes enormous amounts of energy and generates significant carbon dioxide. New process uses tiny ...
