Heterogeneity in homogeneous nucleation from billion-atom molecular dynamics simulation of solidification of pure metal [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Nucleation is a fundamental physical process, however it is a long-standing issue whether completely homogeneous nucleation can occur. Here the authors reveal, via a billion-atom molecular dynamics simulation, that local heterogeneity exists during ...

Anti‐Icing Organogel Enables Quasi‐Homogeneous Supercooling Preservation of Mouse Hearts [PDF]
Advanced ScienceSupercooling preservation holds great promise for extending the storage limits of organs. However, supercooled systems are susceptible to stochastic ice nucleation, which can cause fatal damage to the organs.

Studies on the Competition Between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation in Cirrus Formation
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022 Cirrus ice crystals are produced heterogeneously on ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) and homogeneously in supercooled liquid solution droplets. They grow by uptake of water molecules from the ice‐supersaturated vapor.
