They provide new insights into clathrate hydrates, fostering sustainable gas storage and separation for carbon capture, storage, and industrial emission reduction. The team presents an account of ...

Using a targeted computational approach, researchers in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University have found more than 20 new self-assembled crystal structures, none of ...

Clathrates are characterized by a complex cage structure that provides space for guest ions too. Now, for the first time, a team has investigated the suitability of clathrates as catalysts for ...

As the Earth continues to warm at a worrying rate, scientists continue to work to understand the processes and mechanisms at play. Amidst the myriad of climate-related theories and discussions, the ...

Just like on Earth, water on other planets, satellites, and even comets comes in a variety of forms depending on multiple factors such as pressure and temperature. Aside from the gaseous, liquid, and ...

A NEW thermodynamic method 1 for calculation of hydrate formulæ from aqueous solution freezing curves has revealed a number of non-electrolyte hydrates of unexpected formulæ which are probably ...

A study published recently in the journal Physical Review Letters highlights the discovery of a new hydrogen clathrate hydrate that could improve the storage and transportation of hydrogen fuels. The ...

Methane clathrate, also known as methane hydrate or fire ice, a naturally existing solid compound that brings together two unlikely companions: water and methane gas. Water molecules form a "cage" ...

Researchers study the use of nanoparticles to induce crystallization of supercooled aqueous solutions to clathrate hydrates. On the basis of scanning electron microscopy images, they discovered that ...

Methane hydrate under the ocean floor was assumed to be very sensitive to increasing ocean temperatures. But a new study shows that short term warming of the Arctic ocean barely affects it. Clathrate ...

Experiments show that ensuring oil and gas production under certain pressures and temperatures requires a thorough understanding of the effects of inhibitors on gas hydrate formation and dissociation.
