Deep below the surface in coastal sediments, microorganisms use conductive particles as tiny natural "wires" to exchange ...

Marine sediments play a pivotal role in the Earth’s carbon cycle by mediating the generation, migration and ultimate consumption of methane. Methane dynamics in these sediments are governed by complex ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. – Using an infrared spectrometer on the Cassini-Huygens Spacecraft, researchers have measured the temperature, winds and chemical composition of Saturn, its rings and one of its ...

Gamma radiation can convert methane into a wide variety of products at room temperature, including hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing molecules, and amino acids, reports a research team. This type of ...

A study suggests the ice giants Uranus and Neptune aren't quite as watery as previously thought. They may also contain huge amounts of frozen methane, potentially solving the puzzle of how they formed ...

Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious feedback loop that could accelerate climate change even more, according to a new study published May 7 in Nature.

Methane emissions from wetlands are rising faster than those from industrial sources, prompting concerns about a climate feedback loop. Methane emissions from wetlands are rising faster than those ...
