Heterogeneous nucleation at solid-liquid interfaces in liquid metals is a complex yet fundamentally important phenomenon that governs the initial stages of crystallisation in metallurgical processes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 115, No. 21 (May 22, 2018), pp. 5383-5388 (6 pages) In supercooled water, ice nucleation is a stochastic process ...

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.

Microscopic bubbles can tell stories about Earth's biggest volcanic eruptions and geoscientists have discovered some of those stories are written in nanoparticles. Microscopic bubbles can tell stories ...
