Researchers use “bottled lightning” to turn methane into liquid fuel
Inside a submerged glass tube, tiny bolts of plasma pulse through bubbling methane gas. It looks like miniature lightning, but this electrified reaction tackles a problem that has frustrated chemists ...
Tiny bolts of plasma, flickering inside a submerged glass tube, may have opened a new route for turning methane into liquid ...
Northwestern University chemists have discovered a new way to turn natural gas into liquid fuel—and it's lightning in a bottle. By harnessing tiny bursts of plasma—or mini "lightning bolts"—in glass ...
Enhancing with argon. To further enhance the process, the team diluted methane with argon, which is typically an inert noble ...

Northwestern chemists convert natural gas to liquid fuel at mild conditions
A team at Northwestern University has figured out how to turn methane into methanol in a single step, at room temperature, ...
Lightning in a bottle, in a literal sense, may be the key to new, clean energy by reducing carbon emissions in methanol production.
