Atmospheric ice nucleation is crucial for global precipitation and affects the structure, lifetime
and reflectivity of clouds, thereby impacting climate. Ice nucleates in various ways from …

Atmospheric ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a critical role in cloud freezing processes,
with important implications for precipitation formation and cloud radiative properties, and …

Frozen water has a quasi-liquid layer at its surface that exists even well below the bulk
melting temperature; the formation of this layer is termed premelting. The nature of the …

Bacterial ice nucleators (INs) are among the most effective ice nucleators known and are
relevant for freezing processes in agriculture, the atmosphere, and the biosphere. Their …

Understanding how surfaces direct nucleation is a complex problem that limits our ability to
predict and control crystal formation. We here address this challenge using high-speed …

Extensive research has been done on the processes that lead to the formation of secondary
organic aerosol (SOA) including the atmospheric oxidation of volatile organic compounds …

Delaying ice and frost formation is one of the key strategies to mitigate the hazards induced
by ice accretion. The current surfaces for delaying ice formation rely on restricting …

The emergence of desiccated lake bed sediments and their exposure to wind erosion as a
consequence of climate change and drought in arid and semiarid regions of the world poses …

Mineral dust particles are thought to be an important type of ice-nucleating particle (INP) in
the mixed-phase cloud regime around the globe. While K-rich feldspar (K-feldspar) has …

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are atmospheric aerosol particles that can strongly influence
the radiative properties and precipitation onset in mixed-phase clouds by triggering ice …
