Heterogeneous nucleation at solid-liquid interfaces in liquid metals is a complex yet fundamentally important phenomenon that governs the initial stages of crystallisation in metallurgical processes.

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 ...

Birth is a tough process, particularly for crystals. Before a crystalline structure forms, atoms or molecules mingle in a solution, making and breaking attachments. After enough particles gather in a ...

PepsiCo has been granted a patent for a beverage nucleation device that uses ultrasonic energy to cause nucleation of supercooled beverages. The device includes a housing, support for the beverage ...

Calcium carbonate is found nearly everywhere, in sidewalk cement, wall paint, antacid tablets and deep underground. Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have used a unique set of ...
