Homogeneous ice nucleation needs supercooling of more than 35 K to become effective.
When pressure is applied to water, the melting and the freezing points both decrease …

Many plants experience freezing temperatures that can be damaging and even lethal.
Current climate projections suggest that freezing events are likely to increase in early …

Vitrification is a promising approach for ice-free cryopreservation of biological material, but
progress is hindered by the limited set of experimental tools for studying processes in the …

We present new experimental data of the low-temperature metastable region of liquid water
derived from high-density synthetic fluid inclusions (996–916 kg m− 3) in quartz …

The reason why ice nucleation is more efficient by contact nucleation than by immersion
nucleation has been elusive for over half a century. Six proposed mechanisms are …

Nucleation of Water: From Fundamental Science to Atmospheric and Additional Applications
provides a comprehensive accounting of the current state-of-the-art regarding the nucleation …

The superheated liquids are metastable with respect to their vapour, what means they can
exist under arid conditions whatever the temperature: capillary liquid residing in arid soils …

In water-bearing porous rocks, pore pressure variations play a major role in deformation,
through dissolution–precipitation and fracturing processes. An often-overlooked variation …

We study the thermodynamic equilibrium between supercooled liquid and solid using a
homemade MEMS device called microtensiometer to directly measure the pressure and …
