Cryopreservation has become a central technology in many areas of clinical medicine,
biotechnology, and species conservation within both plant and animal biology …

Freeze tolerance–the ability to survive internal ice formation–has evolved repeatedly in
insects, facilitating survival in environments with low temperatures and/or high risk of …

Cryopreservation of tissues and organs can bring transformative changes to medicine and
medical science. In the past decades, limited progress has been achieved, although …

The advantages of superhydrophobic coatings as a new method for protection against
atmospheric icing are considered. The basic physicochemical mechanisms determining the …

An increasing number of studies directed at supercooling water droplets on surfaces with
different wettabilities have appeared in recent years. This activity has been stimulated by the …

The many components of seasonal adaptations in insects are reviewed, especially from the
viewpoint of aspects that must be studied in order to understand the structure and purposes …

Ice nucleation is an important process in numerous environmental systems such as
atmospheric aerosol droplets or biological tissues. Here we analyze two widely used …

We present a local order parameter based on the standard Steinhardt–Ten Wolde approach
that is capable both of tracking and of driving homogeneous ice nucleation in simulations of …

Freeze tolerance, the ability to survive internal ice formation, facilitates survival of some
insects in cold habitats. Low-molecular-weight cryoprotectants such as sugars, polyols and …

A review of insect adaptations for resistance to cold and for life-cycle timing reveals the
complexity of the adaptations and their relationships to features of the environment. Cold …
