Clathrate hydrates are complex water structures that contain foreign guest molecules inside a host water-molecule shell. A predicted clathrate hydrate phase structure has been stably synthesized in ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 new method controlling pressure drop across chokes has been successfully applied to a high-pressure sour gas well in Sichuan basin, China. High-pressure sour gas wells use multistage choking methods ...

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.
