Atmospheric ice nucleation is crucial for global precipitation and affects the structure, lifetime
and reflectivity of clouds, thereby impacting climate. Ice nucleates in various ways from …

Since the experimental characterization of the low-pressure region of water's phase diagram
in the early 1900s, scientists have been on a quest to understand the thermodynamic …

This review provides an in-depth analysis of the methods used to produce icy regolith
simulants with a focus on the Moon. Current knowledge of the form and morphology of ice …

Recent experiments revealed a new amorphous ice phase, medium-density amorphous ice
(MDA), formed by ball-milling ice Ih at 77 K [Rosu-Finsen et al., Science 379, 474–478 …

Water is routinely exposed to external electric fields. Whether, for example, at physiological
conditions, in contact with biological systems, or at the interface of polar surfaces in …

Amorphous ices are usually classified as belonging to low-density or high-density
amorphous ice (LDA and HDA) with densities ρ LDA≈ 0.94 g/cm3 and ρ HDA≈ 1.15− 1.17 …

Ice crystals at low temperatures exhibit structural polymorphs including hexagonal ice, cubic
ice, or a hetero-crystalline mixture of the two phases. Despite the significant implications of …

Recently, a putative phase transition has been discovered in metallic glasses that could lead
to two distinct amorphous states. This phenomenon, known as polyamorphism, has …

Ice is one of the most important and interesting molecular crystals, exhibiting a rich and
evolving phase diagram. Recent discoveries mean that there are now 20 distinct …

Ice surfaces are closely relevant to many physical and chemical properties, such as melting,
freezing, friction, gas uptake and atmospheric reaction,,,,,,–. Despite extensive experimental …
