Scientists studying nucleation often use microscopic droplets as miniature experiments that can run quickly, in parallel, and in a small space. However, these experiments require high-resolution ...

Scientists have measured the activation energy and kinetic factors of calcium carbonate's nucleation. Calcium carbonate is found nearly everywhere, in sidewalk cement, wall paint, antacid tablets and ...

Scientists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently discovered a non-classical nucleation process that can greatly facilitate ice formation on foreign surfaces.

Forests currently face numerous stressors, raising questions about processes of forest recovery as well as the role of humans in stimulating recovery by planting trees that might not otherwise ...

Crystals form in storm clouds, metals, drug molecules, and even in diseased tissues. Despite their ubiquity, scientists still don’t fully understand what happens when a liquid solution first starts to ...

Few laboratory mistakes are as familiar, or as disruptive, as a media boilover. The sight of agar or broth erupting from a ...
