Canadians may think they're intimately familiar with ice in all its forms, but there is one kind that most have probably never heard of. Clathrate hydrates are tiny crystalline cages of ice that can ...

Researchers have solved a mystery that has confounded scientists for 80 years: the crystal structure of the tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB) hydrate TBAB·26H 2 O. This substance belongs to a class ...

IIT-M researchers develop a breakthrough gas hydrate process for efficient industrial wastewater treatment, enhancing purity ...

Gas hydrate is an ice-like substance that forms at low temperature and high pressure when adequate amounts of water and gases such as carbon dioxide or methane and higher-order hydrocarbon gases are ...

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, ...

A research well drilled last winter into the Prudhoe Bay oil field could be a key to unlocking vast stores of yet untapped energy. Last December, a consortium of scientists from the U.S. Geological ...

Although occupation of dodecahedral cages by TBAB had not been previously reported, it was found that utilizing dodecahedral cages allows for higher packing density of TBAB. The results were shared in ...
