Electrochemical cells—or batteries, as a well-known example—are complex technologies that combine chemistry, physics, ...

Researchers visualized how gold nanocrystals coalesce at the atomic level, uncovering size, defect, and approach-dependent pathways that shape crystal structure.

Based on this analysis, the team developed a model capable of explaining the crystal nucleation mechanisms within a glass at different spatial scales, from atomic to nano, without contradiction. 2.

Secoya Technologies has developed a crystallization technology that relies on the control of spontaneous nucleation inside small tubular reactors of molecules in solution. Thanks to an excellent ...

Crystallization, a fundamental process in nature, hinges on two distinct stages: nucleation and growth. The latter plays a pivotal role in shaping the morphology, size, and purity of crystalline ...

Even that would only be able to model the interactions for 100 picoseconds, or 10 -10 seconds—not long enough to observe the ice nucleation process.

Scientists explore how fungi can start biological ice nucleation to produce ice on demand, potentially revolutionizing snow-making and cryo-preservation techniques.
