Tiny bolts of plasma, flickering inside a submerged glass tube, may have opened a new route for turning methane into liquid ...

Professor Dayne Swearer found that bursts of plasma convert methane into methanol without high heat and pressures.

The findings potentially resolve a long-standing issue with methanol conversion, which has tended to be clunky, inefficient, ...
