Anomalous Behavior in the Nucleation of Ice at Negative Pressures
, 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.

AFM imaging of extracellular ice nucleators
Journal of Food Science, 2020 Abstract Ice nucleators are substances that can initiate nucleation of pure water at and above −10 °C. Some plant pathogens possess a gene which encodes for a protein that acts as an ice nucleator, activity of which is enhanced when it is combined with the sugar and lipid components from the cell membrane.

Physics of Ice Nucleation and Antinucleation: Action of Antifreeze Proteins and Ice Nucleators
, 2023 Ice-binding proteins are crucial for adaptation of various organisms to low temperatures. Some of these, called antifreeze proteins, are usually thought to inhibit growth and/or recrystallization of ice crystals. However, prior to these events, ice must somehow appear in the organism, either coming from outside or forming inside through the nucleation ...

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 ...

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 ...

A comprehensive parameterization of heterogeneous ice nucleation of dust surrogate: laboratory study with hematite particles and its application to atmospheric models [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 A new heterogeneous ice nucleation parameterization that covers a wide temperature range (−36 to −78 °C) is presented. Developing and testing such an ice nucleation parameterization, which is constrained through identical experimental conditions, is ...

Biomolecules, 2022 The classical nucleation theory shows that bulk water freezing does not occur at temperatures above ≈ −30 °C, and that at higher temperatures ice nucleation requires the presence of some ice-binding surfaces.
