The cryopreservation of biomaterials is fundamental to modern biotechnology and
biomedicine, but the biggest challenge is the formation of ice, resulting in fatal cryoinjury to …

This article reviews recent molecular simulation studies of “collective” properties of aqueous
electrolyte solutions, specifically free energies and activity coefficients, solubilities …

Icing of seawater droplets is capable of causing catastrophic damage to vessels, buildings,
and human life, yet it also holds great potential for enhancing applications such as droplet …

Water in nature predominantly freezes with the help of foreign materials through a process
known as heterogeneous ice nucleation. Although this effect was exploited more than seven …

In this work, we shall estimate via computer simulations the homogeneous nucleation rate
for the methane hydrate at 400 bars for a supercooling of about 35 K. The TIP4P/ICE model …

Heterogeneous nucleation of ice from aqueous solutions is an important yet poorly
understood process in multiple fields, not least the atmospheric sciences where it impacts …

Hard-sphere crystallization has been widely investigated over the last six decades by means
of colloidal suspensions and numerical methods. However, some aspects of its nucleation …

The seeding method is an approximate approach to investigate nucleation that combines
molecular dynamics simulations with classical nucleation theory. Recently, this technique …

We carried out extensive molecular dynamics simulations of seeded crystallization in a
Lennard-Jones liquid in a wide range of supercoolings under zero external pressure. The …

Potent ice nucleating organic crystals display an increase in nucleation efficiency with
pressure and memory effect after pressurization that set them apart from inorganic …
