When natural gas from deep underground reservoirs escapes from cracks in the rock, it can sometimes burn autonomously for ...

As an example of an energy application, one such problem is the conversion of natural gas, methane, to a more readily transportable form such as methanol or ethane. Natural gas has a favourable ...

Because of its extremely cold temperature, the liquids on Titan are made of hydrocarbons like methane and ethane, and the surface is made of solid water ice. A new study published in The Planetary ...

The AP-XPS and STM measurements collectively showed that the catalyst system activates methane at room temperature, breaking its carbon-hydrogen bonds and converting it to ethane, which is used for a ...

It’s so cold that ethane and methane behave like liquids. A few weeks ago scientists found out more about how Titan’s small lakes work. As well as discovering that they’re more than 300 feet ...

Pure methane reacts—with very low yield—to give ethane, propane and hydrogen. The addition of oxygen increases the conversion ...
