Inside a submerged glass tube, tiny bolts of plasma pulse through bubbling methane gas. It looks like miniature lightning, but this electrified reaction tackles a problem that has frustrated chemists ...

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 ...

Professor Dayne Swearer found that bursts of plasma convert methane into methanol without high heat and pressures.

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

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

As limited climate gains from technical methane interventions are outpaced by growth in livestock production and associated ...
