​Scientists believe they’ve spotted the biggest wave ever discovered. This is a tad bigger than anything you’d find on Earth: this wave is roiling through an extremely hot gas cloud in the Perseus cluster and stretches 200,000 light-years across, meaning it’s twice the size of the Milky Way galaxy.

A Duke University study suggests that serpentinized rocks underneath the ocean floor may hold the key to finding an abundant and free hydrogen resource.

To help prevent emergencies from becoming disasters, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the Chiba Institute of Technology (CIT) have unveiled Sakura 2 – a remotely-operated, mobile, anti-explosive robot for use in gas-filled environments where a spark or heat source could set off an explosion or fire.

​An international team of researchers has created a graphene-boron amalgam that can detect particular gases down to parts per billion, and may eventually lead to detectors capable of sensing gases at mere parts per quadrillion.

Technologies being developed for ESA's next-generation of ExoMars rover could soon be put to work saving lives in a more terrestrial setting. GMV, an ESA partner in rover development is designing a robot to be used in the gas and oil industry.

Three stunning new images from ESA's Herschel Space Observatory are providing new insights into how matter is distributed in our galaxy.

A team from Northwestern University has developed a new material capable of neutralizing nerve gases. The zirconium-based NU-1000 is not only useful not only disposing of stockpiles of such toxins, but also for use in gas masks and protective suits for soldiers and rescue workers.

For a long time, scientists have been searching for an answer as to how galaxy clusters regulate the number of stars they create. A team of researchers from MIT, Columbia University and Michigan State University believe they have found the answer.

Joining Quirky and GE's Wink family is Refuel, a smart propane gas gauge designed to ensure your barbeque guests aren't dished up a plate of salad and raw meat after your grill runs out of gas.

The Sense+ is a smartphone dock that packs built-in smoke and gas detection sensors to sound an alert in the event of fire.

Despite shale gas contributing to a reduction in the CO2 output of America's energy sector, the authors of a new report claim is likely to increase emissions overall.

"Hydrate-phobic" surface coatings could be used to prevent blockages in deep-sea oil wells opening up additional cleanup options for accidents like the Deepwater Horizon spill.
