Nucleation and glass formation are pivotal phenomena in materials science that dictate the development of crystalline and amorphous structures. Nucleation refers to the initial phase where small ...

Scientists have developed an artificially intelligent algorithm capable of beating climate scientists at predicting how and when different materials form ice crystals. The program -- IcePic -- could ...

Scientifically speaking, the term “crystal” refers to any solid that has an ordered chemical structure. This means that its parts are arranged in a precisely ordered pattern, like bricks in a wall.

Achieving record efficiency in perovskite solar cells, a new study demonstrates the role of solvent dynamics in optimizing film crystallization and stability.

It’s a development that could significantly increase the accuracy of weather and climate forecasting. Researchers have used deep learning to model more precisely than ever before how ice crystals form ...

Researchers uncover how the surface structure of silver iodide at the atomic scale triggers ice formation in clouds, improving understanding of artificial rain and snow. (Nanowerk News) No one can ...

Clouds form when water vapor—an invisible gas in the atmosphere—sticks to tiny floating particles, such as dust, and turns into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. In a newly published study, we ...

Czochralski growth, also called the Czochralski method or technique, is a method for growing high-quality single crystals of various materials. It finds wide application in the semiconductor industry, ...
