Understanding the flammability limits and combustion characteristics of fuel–air mixtures is pivotal for both industrial safety and the advancement of energy technologies. These limits define the ...

Thawing permafrost has released so much methane into Esieh Lake near Fairbanks, Alaska that the air above it is flammable.

But now, a team of Duke University scientists, analyzing shallow groundwater sources near active gas wells, has found that levels of flammable methane (CH4) contamination increased when those water ...
