Cryopreservation of cells and biologics underpins all biomedical research from routine
sample storage to emerging cell-based therapies, as well as ensuring cell banks provide …

In the winter, icing on solid surfaces is a typical occurrence that may create a slew of hassles
and even tragedies. Anti-icing surfaces are one of the effective solutions for this kind of …

Cryopreservation technology has developed into a fundamental and important supporting
method for biomedical applications such as cell‐based therapeutics, tissue engineering …

Water freezing is ubiquitous and affects areas as diverse as climate, the chemical industry,
cryobiology and materials science. Ice nucleation is the controlling step in water freezing …

Ice accretion may cause malfunction or serious performance degradation in outdoor facilities
and structures, such as aircraft, ship, locks and dams, offshore platforms, solar panels, wind …

The nucleation of crystals in liquids is one of nature's most ubiquitous phenomena, playing
an important role in areas such as climate change and the production of drugs. As the early …

We show graphene oxide (GO) greatly suppresses the growth and recrystallization of ice
crystals, and ice crystals display a hexagonal shape in the GO dispersion. Preferred …

Antifreeze proteins from polar fish species are remarkable biomacromolecules which
prevent the growth of ice crystals. Ice crystal growth is a major problem in cell/tissue …

What makes a material a good ice nucleating agent? Despite the importance of
heterogeneous ice nucleation to a variety of fields, from cloud science to microbiology, major …

Ice binding proteins modulate ice nucleation/growth and have huge (bio) technological
potential. There are few synthetic materials that reproduce their function, and rational design …
