June 28, 2021 Researchers study the use of nanoparticles to induce crystallization of supercooled aqueous solutions to clathrate hydrates. On the basis of scanning electron microscopy images, they discovered that ...
May 13, 2021 Researchers have revealed the thermodynamics and kinetics that facilitate crystal growth in deeply supercooled liquids and glasses. Their insights will help people exploit this atypical crystal ...
Sep. 2, 2021 Shifting to a new food freezing method could make for safer and better quality frozen foods while saving energy and reducing carbon emissions, according to a new study. A complete change over to this ...
Dec. 6, 2021 An engineer is changing what we know about when water freezes as he pushes the limit and gets the best look yet at tiny drops of water as they ...
Mar. 17, 2023 Ice surfaces have a thin layer of water below its melting temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. Such premelting phenomenon is important for skating and snowflake growth. Similarly, liquid often ...
Nov. 9, 2023 Liquid metals could be the long-awaited solution to 'greening' the chemical industry, according to researchers who tested a new technique they hope can replace energy-intensive chemical ...
Mar. 24, 2022 Researchers used molecular dynamics simulations to model heat transport at atomic scales. This allowed the three-dimensional structure responsible for the heat flux to be visualized. The work may ...
Nov. 4, 2022 In 1842, the famous British researcher Michael Faraday made an amazing observation by chance: A thin layer of water forms on the surface of ice, even though it is well below zero degrees. So the ...
Mar. 3, 2022 Airplane wings that don't ice up or solar cells that generate electricity even in winter - ice-free surfaces are important for many applications. A team of scientists has now studied an ...
July 27, 2022 Graphene scientists have created a novel 'nano-petri dish' using two-dimensional (2D) materials to create a new method of observing how atoms move in ...
