Ice Nucleation Properties of Ice-binding Proteins from Snow Fleas [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2019 Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) are found in many organisms, such as fish and hexapods, plants, and bacteria that need to cope with low temperatures. Ice nucleation and thermal hysteresis are two attributes of IBPs.

Ice nucleation abilities of soot particles determined with the Horizontal Ice Nucleation Chamber [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Ice nucleation by different types of soot particles is systematically investigated over the temperature range from 218 to 253 K relevant for both mixed-phase (MPCs) and cirrus clouds.

Enhanced heterogeneous ice nucleation by special surface geometry
Nature Communications, 2017 Understanding ice nucleation is important for the development of accurate cloud models. Here Biet al. show that sharp wedges can enhance ice nucleation both when the wedge geometry matches the ice lattice and when such matching is absent, in which case ...

Ice nucleation under cirrus cloud conditions [PDF]
, 2012 Cirrus are thin upper tropospheric clouds that are composed entirely of ice particles. Due to their extensive coverage of the Earth’s surface, they have a significant impact on the Earth’s radiative balance.

Heterogeneous ice nucleation on atmospheric aerosols: a review of results from laboratory experiments [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012 A small subset of the atmospheric aerosol population has the ability to induce ice formation at conditions under which ice would not form without them (heterogeneous ice nucleation).

Impact of formulations of the homogeneous nucleation rate on ice nucleation events in cirrus [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Homogeneous freezing of solution droplets is an important pathway of ice formation in the tropopause region. The nucleation rate can be parameterized as a function of water activity, based on empirical fits and some assumptions on the underlying ...

Anomalous Behavior in the Nucleation of Ice at Negative Pressures [PDF]
, 2021 Ice nucleation is a phenomenon that, despite the relevant implications for life, atmospheric sciences, and technological applications, is far from being completely understood, especially under extreme thermodynamic conditions.
