Scientists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently discovered a non-classical nucleation process that can greatly facilitate ice formation on foreign surfaces.

1. A research team consisting of NIMS, AGC Inc., and JASRI has succeeded in observing partial crystallization of a glass—an initial stage in its transformation into a stronger, more heat resistant ...

Scientists have succeeded in visualizing crystal nucleation -- the stage that precedes crystallization -- that was invisible until now. At the interface between chemistry and physics, the process of ...
