Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are remarkable biomolecules that suppress ice formation at trace
concentrations. To inhibit ice growth, AFPs must not only bind to ice crystals, but also resist …

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

The properties of bulk water and aqueous solutions are known to change in the vicinity of an
interface and/or in a confined environment, including the thermodynamics of ion selectivity at …

Ice growth has attracted great attention for its capability of fabricating hierarchically porous
microstructure. However, the formation of tilted lamellar microstructure during freezing needs …

The slow nucleation of clathrate hydrates is a central challenge for their use in the storage
and transportation of natural gas. Molecules that strongly adsorb to the clathrate–water …

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are able to influence the ice crystal growth and the
recrystallization process due to the Gibbs–Thomson effect. The binding of the AFP leads to …

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are a diverse class of proteins that depress the kinetically
observable freezing point of water. AFPs have been of scientific interest for decades, but the …

Necessitated by the subzero temperatures and seasonal exposure to ice, various organisms
have developed a remarkably effective means to survive the harsh climate of their natural …

Anti-freeze proteins (AFPs) protect organisms at freezing conditions by attaching to the ice
surface and arresting its growth. Each adsorbed AFP locally pins the ice surface, resulting in …

Methane hydrates can be preserved at ambient pressure, beyond their region of
thermodynamic stability, by storing them at temperatures from 240 to 270 K. The origin of this …
