A catalyst with a hydrophobic cavity that contains an active iron centre has been developed to convert methane into methanol. It has a ‘catch-and-release’ mechanism whereby a hydrophobic methane ...

Ocean sediments are a massive storehouse for the potent greenhouse gas methane. Trapped in ocean sediments near continents lie ancient reservoirs of methane called methane hydrates. These ice-like ...

Scientists discovered towering methane ice structures and a thriving ecosystem at Molloy Ridge in the Greenland Sea. These deep-sea formations, the deepest cold seeps in the Arctic, support diverse ...
