MINNEAPOLIS — From skating to fishing, Minnesota's frozen lakes offer 10,000 opportunities. "Lake ice formation starts pretty much when the temperature gets below freezing," said Luigi Romolo, a ...

Ice nucleators help freeze water by fast-forwarding nucleation, which is the process by which water molecules initiate the formation of ice crystals. Forming a crystal means molecules of H 2 O ...

All clouds need “seeds” called condensation nuclei or ice nuclei to properly develop. This could be a speck of dust, clay or pollen in the atmosphere. There are several temperature, moisture and air ...

Solving the puzzle of biological control of ice formation drives scientists to collaborate," Molinero said. "Each of us has a piece of the knowledge, but altogether we can do so much. It's been fun." ...

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 ...

Platform for the simultaneous detection of nano-ice nuclei, cloud droplets, and ice crystals: Schematic of McGill Real-Time Ice Nucleation Chamber (MRINC), AI-Nano-DIHM, and aerosol sizers.

Researchers have used deep learning to model more precisely than ever before how ice crystals form in the atmosphere. Their paper, published this week in PNAS, hints at the potential to ...

By observing hair ice in the wild (and growing some in a home garden), investigators have learned a few things about its formation. Under the right temperature and humidity conditions, ice forms ...
