Concentrated colloidal alumina dispersions were frozen in a directional solidification
apparatus that provides independent control of the freezing rate and temperature gradient …

Icing and ice accretion on aerodynamically critical surfaces of an aircraft increase drag,
reduce lift, and raise stalling speed, which pose significant safety hazards to aircraft while in …

In this work we study the ice–water interface under coexistence conditions by means of
molecular simulations using the TIP4P/2005 water model. Following the methodology …

The origin of the forces acting on a silica surface from an ice solidification interface was
investigated to understand the solidification phenomenon and its impact on nanometer …

The interfacial premelting in ice/clay nano composites was studied by high energy X-ray
diffraction. Below the melting point of bulk water, the formation of liquid water was observed …

Damage caused by freezing wet, porous materials is a widespread problem but is hard to
predict or control. Here, we show that polycrystallinity significantly speeds up the stress …

Hydraulic conductivity of frozen air‐free porous media is a rather elusive property that
remains largely undefined in much of the literature. According to modern science, water …

Considering ice-premelting on a quartz rock surface (ie silica) we calculate the Lifshitz
excess pressures in a four layer system with rock–ice–water–air. Our calculations give …

Microscopic liquid layers of water can evolve via adsorption on grain and mineral surfaces at
and in the soil of the surface of Mars. The upper parts of these layers will start to freeze at …

Gas hydrates (GHs) in water close to freezing temperatures can be stabilised via the
formation of ice layers. In a recent work [Boström et al., Astron. Astrophys., A54, 650, 2021], it …
