Welcome To Titan, Saturn's 'Deranged' Earth-Like Moon Beginning To Show Signs Of Life
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 ...
Gamma radiation converts methane into complex organic molecules and could explain the origin of life
Pure methane reacts—with very low yield—to give ethane, propane and hydrogen. The addition of oxygen increases the conversion ...

Inexpensive Catalyst Recycles Methane Emissions at Room Temperature
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 ...
