Bogs have long fascinated humans — and not just for their fossil fuels. The spongy soil, which often burns, has intrigued people as far back as the Bronze Age. Many people died in these bogs or were placed there after their deaths. And these bodies have been found all over the world....
Some fathers might hear their young sons fart and smile while saying "that's my boy!" Well, they might not be entirely wrong to say that. Two out of three humans regularly produce toots without any methane in them, while one out of three always produce methane. ...
coli will decrease the amount of methane that cows produce. In the Round 1 and Round 2 discussions, my group members and I discussed the effects of introducing antibiotics or recombinant organisms that harbors an antibiotic resistant gene to the rumen of the cow. Lejla discussed that high dos...

Methane does not have any smell. When commercialized in metal tanks, mercaptan is added to make methane smell and warn people of any leak of this gas which is explosive. What people smell in sanitary landfills is mostly a combination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hydrogen sulfide ...
Transforming battery/aluminum waste into nanocatalysts for methane (fuel) production and recycling spent nanocatalysts into catalyst precursors. Credit:TU Wien Converting waste into fuel According to Rupprechter, the process operates without high pressure or extreme temperatures, as the catalyst functions ef...
What are humans doing to fix soil contamination? What is ozone depletion? What type of air pollution damages the ozone layer? Who is liable for environmental pollution? What are the products of the breakdown of methane? What is environmental hazard pollution? What is the consensus on climate ch...
Moon is one of the most popular staples of science fiction. And whereas the vast majority of stories involve lunar settlements built on the surface using sealed domes or beneath the surface, there are some examples where the Moon itself is made into an environment that is habitable for humans...
1. Yes, humans burn fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil to produce energy, along with some by-products called green house gases like carbon dioxide、 methane and water vapour, which trap heat from the sun and therefore warm the Earth. So, the growth of the greenhouse gas—carbon...
Why does methane have a low boiling point? Why does vinegar dissolve egg shells? Why does soap produce bubbles? Why do snakes curl up? Why are fossils rock colored? What causes leaves to change color? Why does sugar increase the boiling point of water?
