Scientists find that combustion of methane using two gold atoms at room temperature yields ethylene, while at lower temperatures it yields formaldehyde. Scientists have discovered a method to control ...

Combustion is another name for burning. In a combustion reaction, fuel is burned and reacts with oxygen to release energy. Katie: Dr. Tim Gregory knows a thing or two about creating things that go ...

In this video, I explain why some reactions explode while others cool, exploring the root cause of chemical energy. I discuss the chemistry behind endothermic and exothermic reactions, which involves ...

The combustion chamber is first precooled by the methane flowing through it. This causes humidity in the air to condense and ice to form on the combustion chamber. The cooling starts in the nozzle ...

Can methane flare burners be advanced to produce less methane? This is what a recent study published in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research hopes to address as a team of researchers from the ...

Methane is an abundant and inexpensive gas. Although it would be a suitable energy source and base material for the chemical industry, huge quantities of it are simply burnt off around the world – ...

A recently-discovered chemical process could have led to widespread formation of the greenhouse gas methane when Earth was young. The reaction doesn’t involve living organisms, so could have occurred ...

Scientists have discovered a method to control the gas-phase selective catalytic combustion of methane, so finely that if done at room temperature the reaction produces ethylene, while at lower ...
