Science is ever changing, and research studies have developed more methods to control and use nature’s building blocks. Gas hydrates are no exception to these developments. For starters, a gas hydrate is a substance made up of a gas molecule surrounded by numerous water molecules. This composition gives an appearance and physical makeup similar to ice, though a gas hydrate is a lot more stable and complex. The ability to manipulate these building blocks has afforded scientists four new ways of storing, transporting, and utilizing gas hydrates. A Magic Act: Powder Form One of the new … [Read more...]
