Water is everywhere and comes in many forms: snow, sleet, hail, hoarfrost, and so on. However, despite water being so ...

When designing a freezing process, it is beneficial to characterize multiple physicochemical properties of the formulation, such as nucleation rate, crystal growth rate, temperature and concentration ...

Glass-ceramics consist of at least one glassy phase with at least one embedded crystalline phase. These materials are built from base glasses via controlled nucleation and crystal growth. Therefore, ...

The glasses of these compositions have been homogenized using the previously established special temperature-time conditions, which make it possible to provide a maximum dehydration and removal of ...

In the case of Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, California, remnants of a trash dump have evolved into picturesque sea glass, drawing visitors to this stretch of Northern California. Just like other ...

In contrast, the nucleation percentage grew slowly in the seipin model ... Cells were plated on 35-mm glass-bottom dishes (MatTek Corp). Imaging was carried out at 37°C approximately 24 hr after ...
