Atmospheric aerosol nucleation contributes to almost half of the cloud condensation nuclei in the world, and thus it has a huge impact on global climate change, air quality, and human health. However, ...

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.

A recent article in Nature Communications describes the direct observation of core–shell metallic nanowire growth using advanced imaging techniques. These methods enable visualization of atomic-scale ...
