A planet the size of Saturn, orbiting a quiet star 330 light-years from Earth, has just become one of the few worlds outside ...

TOI-199 b, a rare temperate giant planet, sits between scorching hot Jupiters and frozen gas giants, and JWST has found ...

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 ...

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that is second only to carbon dioxide in driving up global temperatures. But it doesn’t linger in the atmosphere for long thanks to molecules called hydroxyl ...

Inside every cow’s stomach lives a teeming world of single-celled organisms, and one of them has been hiding a secret. A ...

Scientists say a massive 2022 volcano eruption may have helped break down methane, offering new clues in the fight against ...

After the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai eruption, satellites spotted a strange formaldehyde-rich plume drifting across the ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to ...

Taking a leaf out of the book of plants, scientists have used a photosynthesis blueprint to harness the power of sunlight and turn two of the most destructive greenhouse gases into useful, prized ...

They tuned methane molecules to specific quantum states, scattered them off a gold (Au) surface, and measured their states after the collision. The results, published in Science, revealed clear ...
