Spontaneous combustion is a sometimes mysterious and often misunderstood or misdiagnosed combustion of flammable materials. I am sure that many fires have been blamed on spontaneous combustion that ...

A method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates has been demonstrated by scientists for the first time. It’s an important breakthrough in combustion and atmospheric ...

Alkanes, an important component of fuels for combustion engines and an important class of urban trace gases, react via another reaction pathways than previously thought. These hydrocarbons, formerly ...

The catalytic combustion of methane hinges on the ability of a solid catalyst to activate the robust C–H bond and facilitate complete oxidation at temperatures well below those required for thermal ...

Fires in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) differ from wildland fires. Combustible materials in the WUI have different chemical compositions and densities, and are present in different quantities, ...
