Protein crystals are grown from supersaturated aqueous solutions. Homogeneous nucleation takes place in the bulk of the solution, when the supersaturation is high enough for the free-energy barrier to ...

Nucleation is a fundamental process crucial to a surprising array of different technological and everyday phenomena, from drug design to the formation of clouds. This meeting will bring together the ...

Figure reused from ref. 12. Thus, the vast majority of nucleation events in water are heterogeneous, rather than homogeneous, as postulated in the classical theory. Water seems to be ‘‘special’’ in ...

Using computer simulations, I measure how quickly nucleation occurs and what kinds of crystals are formed through nucleation. I compare these measurements with experimental results and theoretical ...

First order phase transitions in general proceed via nucleation of bubbles. A theoretical basis for the calculation of the nucleation rate is given by the homogeneous nucleation theory of Langer and ...

Moreover, allegedly the Classical Nucleation Theory fails to describe the homogeneous crystal nucleation rates below the glass transition temperature. In this mini-review article, we revisit, ...
