Contactless probing of polycrystalline methane hydrate at pore scale suggests weaker tensile properties than thought

The authors here report tensile properties of polycrystalline methane hydrate at the micron scale by applying a contactless, thermos-induced stress to a tenuous shell of hydrate grown in a thin glass capillary. The results suggest that the cohesive strength of methane hydrate in marine settings may...
