The freezing of water typically proceeds through impurity-mediated heterogeneous nucleation. Although non-planar geometry generically exists on the surfaces of ice nucleation centres, its role in ...

Scientists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently discovered a non-classical nucleation process that can greatly facilitate ice formation on foreign surfaces.

May 12, 2020: New results contradict a long-held classical theory of crystal nucleation (Nanowerk News) A team of scientists has developed four-dimensional (the three dimensions of space plus the ...
