The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. When molecules collide with surfaces, a complex exchange of ...

This summer was the hottest ever recorded on Earth, and 2023 is on track to be the hottest year. Heat waves threatened people’s health across North America, Europe and Asia. Canada had its worst ...

Cleaner air didn’t mean lower methane. New research shows how chemical shifts and La Niña rains pushed methane emissions to record levels.

A handful of startups are using machines to suck CO2 from the air in an attempt to slow down climate change. But some researchers think there could be even more of an impact from removing methane, a ...

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with strong heat-trapping capabilities. Although there is less methane in the atmosphere ...

For the first time, chemists have succeeded in plugging a metal atom into a methane gas molecule, thereby creating a new compound that could be a key in opening up new production processes for the ...
