A laboratory setup shows yellowish and bluish light from two lamps shining on a metallic reactor. Deep-ultraviolet, infrared, and visible light shine on carbon dioxide and methane in a reactor, ...

Scientists have unveiled a sunlight-powered catalyst that transforms methane—the main component of natural gas—directly into ethanol, a high-value liquid fuel and chemical feedstock. The new material, ...

Methane is an abundant but low-value fuel and a significant greenhouse gas. Photocatalytic conversion of methane into transportable liquid oxygenated compounds (MTLOs), such as methanol and ethanol, ...

Roughly two-thirds of all atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas, comes from methanogens. Tracking down which methanogens in which environment produce methane with a specific isotope signature ...
