Ice nucleation behaviors were investigated by a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of
the freezing of emulsified solution droplets with silver iodide (AgI) as an ice-nucleating …

One important quest for making high quality materials with amphiphiles is to understand how
a disordered self-assembly changes to a stable crystalline state. Herein, we addressed the …

Recent theories and simulations suggest that molecular additives can bind to the surfaces of
nuclei, lower the surface energy, and accelerate nucleation. Experiments have shown that …

Ice nucleation is an important process in many scientific fields. However, what makes a good
ice nucleator is still poorly understood. Therefore further experimental work is required to …

Since the discovery of biological antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs), which can inhibit ice
nucleation, there has been considerable interest in understanding their mechanisms and …

Polymer hydrogels, comprised of three-dimensional polymer networks, display exceptional
properties such as water retention, viscoelasticity, toughness, and frost resistance. These …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are currently used to shed light into atomistic and
molecular level details of physicochemical processes occurring in our Earth's cryosphere. In …

A numerical model was used to study the homogeneous nucleation process of dibutyl
phthalate (DBP) vapor in a laminar flow diffusion chamber (LFDC); the spatial and temporal …

Certain organisms living in cold regions have adapted different strategies to survive in
harshly cold temperatures. Some of them use freeze-avoiding strategies in which they can …

Heterogene Eisnukleation spielt in der Atmosphäre eine wichtige Rolle bei der Bildung von
Wolken und beeinflusst damit entscheidend sowohl die Albedo als auch den …
