SPIN modification for low-temperature experiments [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2020 The SPectrometer for Ice Nuclei (SPIN) has been modified to access ice nucleation at low temperatures. The modification consists of a reconfiguration of components from SPIN's cooling system to provide refrigerant with a low boiling point to the chamber.

How Do Size and Aggregation of Ice-binding Proteins Control their Ice Nucleation Efficiency [PDF]
, 2018 Organisms that thrive at cold temperatures produce ice-binding proteins to manage the nucleation and growth of ice. Bacterial ice-nucleating proteins (INP) are typically large and form aggregates in the cell membrane, while insect hyperactive antifreeze ...

E Pluribus Unum: Functional Aggregation of Cell-Free Proteins Enables Fungal Ice Nucleation [PDF]
, 2023 Biological ice nucleation plays a key role in the survival of cold-adapted organisms. Several species of bacteria, fungi, and insects produce ice nucleators (INs) that enable ice formation at temperatures above -10 oC.

Heterogeneous ice nucleation: exploring the transition from stochastic to singular freezing behavior [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 Heterogeneous ice nucleation, a primary pathway for ice formation in the atmosphere, has been described alternately as being stochastic, in direct analogy with homogeneous nucleation, or singular, with ice nuclei initiating freezing at deterministic ...
