Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have provided new clues about how the exoplanet WASP-121b has formed ...

Satisfied with their full outer shells, noble gases are typically monatomic, indifferent to their peers. Despite their ...

The search for life on other worlds needs a way to sift through the chemistry of their atmospheres. If another species ...

James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) observations of exoplanet WASP-121b are contributing valuable clues about how the planet ...

Methane is an even more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and scientists are scrambling to figure out why there’s been such a dramatic increase of it in the atmosphere Methane is an ...

This greenhouse gas is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its ability to heat up the climate system, though methane molecules only persist in the atmosphere for seven to 12 ...

This is because hydrogen gas easily reacts in the atmosphere with the same molecule primarily responsible for breaking down methane, a potent greenhouse gas. If hydrogen emissions exceed a certain ...

An IITM study reveals that dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a gas produced by ocean organisms, may play a larger role in cooling the ...

An important clue is in the isotopes of atmospheric gas atoms. Atoms in gases exist in different versions, called isotopes, that each have the same number of protons and electrons, but different ...

said it would be difficult to quantify exactly how much gas was reaching the atmosphere - especially given scarce existing data on leaks from subsea pipelines. "Gazprom will probably have an ...
