An emerging method is to instead convert the gas into a solid for easier transport and storage. In fact, nature already does this under certain conditions, as molecules of natural gas can become ...

For the first time, biologically-relevant organic molecules have been detected in Archaean fluid inclusions, which most likely served as nutrients for early life on Earth. A research team including ...

An elastic crystal built from interlocking molecular rings could pave the way for squeezable materials that can capture and release gases such as CO 2 (Nature 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03880-x).

A polymer with a 2D molecular structure stacks into tightly packed layers — forming films of nanoscale thicknesses that are nearly impermeable to gases and moisture. Polymers are attractive barrier ...
