Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have revealed new details that explain how a highly selective catalyst converts methane, the main component of natural gas, to methanol, an easy-to-transport liquid fuel and feedstock for making plastics, paints, and other commodity products. 

One way that proteins and other molecules in the cell achieve this flexibility is by condensing into specialized droplets, a phenomenon called liquid-liquid phase separation.
