Naturally occurring methane hydrate deposits are potential sources of energy. However, their observation in natural environments remains challenging. Researchers have now developed a one-dimensional ...

Like the carbon dioxide in a fizzing glass of soda, most bubbles of gas in a liquid don't last long. But nanobubbles persist. These bubbles are thousands of times smaller than the tip of a pencil lead ...

Researchers are studying the role that methane nanobubbles might play in the formation and dissociation of natural gas hydrates, a currently untapped source of natural gas and a chief energy source in ...

In a paper published this week in PNAS, researchers at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences and the Amsterdam Center for Multiscale Modeling provide atomistic ...

Scientists at the Youth Laboratory of the Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Technologies (IGiNGT) of Kazan Federal University (KFU), together with colleagues from the A.V. Nikolaev Institute of ...

Because inhibitors are important in reducing formation of hydrates in gas streams, we performed a study to investigate and evaluate the accuracy of available tools that predict hydrate formation ...

For many materials, phase transitions can be influenced by the amount of water vapour surrounding the sample. Water vapour can associate with a solid in many ways, such as adsorb only on the surface, ...
