β-Amyloid aggregation and heterogeneous nucleation. [PDF]
Protein Sci, 2019 AbstractIn this article, we consider the role of heterogeneous nucleation in β‐amyloid aggregation. Heterogeneous nucleation is more common and occurs at lower levels of supersaturation than homogeneous nucleation. The nucleation period is also the stage at which most of the polymorphism of amyloids arises, this being one of the defining features of ...

An Overview on Atomistic Mechanisms of Heterogeneous Nucleation
Metals, 2022 Our current understanding of heterogeneous nucleation has been dominated by the classical nucleation theory (CNT) with little progress of significance being made in past 100 years.

Inhibition of Heterogeneous Nucleation in Water by Hydrogel Coating [PDF]
Research, 2023 Heterogeneous nucleation plays a critical role in the phase transition of water, which can cause damage in various systems. Here, we report that heterogeneous nucleation can be inhibited by utilizing hydrogel coatings to isolate solid surfaces and water.

Heterogeneous nucleation of water vapor on different types of black carbon particles [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 The heterogeneous nucleation of water vapor on insoluble particles affects cloud formation, precipitation, the hydrological cycle, and climate. Despite its importance, heterogeneous nucleation remains a poorly understood phenomenon that relies heavily on

An adsorption theory of heterogeneous nucleation of water vapour on nanoparticles [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 Heterogeneous nucleation of water vapour on insoluble nuclei is a phenomenon that can induce atmospheric water and ice cloud formation. However, modelling of the phenomenon is hampered by the fact that the predictive capability of the classical ...
