US Chemists Turn Natural Gas Into Liquid Fuel Without High Heat And Pressures
Authored by Prabhat Ranjan Mishra via Interesting Engineering,
Chemists in the United States have discovered a new way to turn natural gas into liquid fuel.
The team from Northwestern University has successfully converted methane directly into methanol in a single step. They harnessed tiny bursts of plasma — or mini “lightning bolts” — in glass tubes submerged in water.
Methanol is a versatile, high-demand industrial chemical used to make many products people use every day.Employee/Alexander/Driscoll

Solar storms are events in which the sun experiences a massive explosion of energy, charged particles and magnetic fields. From solar flares to coronal mass ejections (CMEs), these explosions pose a danger to...
