It exists naturally as a molecule. Each methane molecule has a central carbon atom joined to and surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. The chemical formula of methane is CH₄. Cows and other farm ...

methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to its molecular structure. MIT chemical engineers have now ...

Chemical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers. This research was published in Nature Catalysis ...
