Potent ice nucleating organic crystals display an increase in nucleation efficiency with
pressure and memory effect after pressurization that set them apart from inorganic …

Nanoscale confinement has a strong effect on the phase behavior of water. Studies in the
last two decades have revealed a wealth of novel crystalline and quasicrystalline structures …

Growth of ice crystals is ubiquitous around us, but we still do not know what is occurring at
the forefront of crystallization. In general, the interfacial structure is inseparably involved in …

Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) has ice binding and ice nucleating properties. Here, we explore
the dependence of the molecular size of PVA on its ice nucleation activity. For this purpose …

Cold-adapted organisms produce antifreeze proteins and glycoproteins to control the
growth, melting and recrystallization of ice. It has been proposed that these molecules pin …

Crystallization in liquids is critical to a range of important processes occurring in physics,
chemistry and life sciences. In this article, we review our efforts towards understanding the …

Understanding the nucleation behavior of water in dilute polymeric solutions is
quintessential for the development of suitable artificial ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) …

Graphitic surfaces are the main component of soot, a major constituent of atmospheric
aerosols. Experiments indicate that soots of different origins display a wide range of abilities …

Heterogeneous ice nucleation occurs vis-à-vis nucleating agents already present in solution
yet can occur within a rather broad range of temperatures (0 to ca.− 38° C). Controlling this …

Many species living in colder regions of the world have adapted to the extreme climate by
producing antifreeze (glycol) proteins (AF (G) P) which exhibit ice recrystallization inhibition …
