In the winter, icing on solid surfaces is a typical occurrence that may create a slew of hassles
and even tragedies. Anti-icing surfaces are one of the effective solutions for this kind of …

Water freezing remains a perennial topic of great relevance to many important aspects of our
lives; from the climate to human society and from economics to medicine, frozen water …

The freezing of water affects the processes that determine Earth's climate. Therefore,
accurate weather and climate forecasts hinge on good predictions of ice nucleation rates …

Atmospheric aerosols can promote the heterogeneous nucleation of ice, impacting the
radiative properties of clouds and Earth's climate. The experimental investigation of …

Clathrate hydrates and ice I are the most abundant crystals of water. The study of their
nucleation, growth, and decomposition using molecular simulations requires an accurate …

Heterogeneous ice nucleation is an important mechanism for the glaciation of mixed phase
clouds and may also be relevant for cloud formation and dehydration at the cirrus cloud …

Ice nucleation in the atmosphere influences cloud properties, altering precipitation and the
radiative balance, ultimately regulating Earth's climate. An accepted ice nucleation pathway …

Cold-adapted organisms produce antifreeze and ice-nucleating proteins to prevent and
promote ice formation. The crystal structure of hyperactive bacterial antifreeze protein (AFP) …

Heterogeneous nucleation of ice induced by organic materials is of fundamental importance
for climate, biology, and industry. Among organic ice-nucleating surfaces, monolayers of …

Traditionally, ice I was considered to exist in two well-defined crystalline forms at ambient
pressure: stable hexagonal ice (ice Ih) and metastable cubic ice (ice Ic). However, it is …
