The molecular process of their formation is not known and heavily debated. In a paper in the Journal of Physical Chemistry B, researchers at the Van &#8216;t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) now provide insight in methane hydrate formation. They performed atomistic scale molecular simulations that help establish the key thermodynamic and kinetic properties.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-09-homogeneous-nucleation-methane-hydrate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Rate prediction for homogeneous nucleation of methane hydrate<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Methane hydrates are the single biggest source of fossil fuel on planet earth and play a role in climate change.
