This paper describes new laboratory observations about the size evolution of ice crystals and cloud droplets immersed in a mixed-phase cloud. The experiments were performed by using a cloud chamber facility for three ...

The sedimentation process of columnar ice crystals was evaluated using data obtained by the lattice Boltzmann method. The data used correspond to columnar ice crystals with maximum dimension less than 100 μm and aspect ...

New experimental measurements of the falling velocity, size and orientation of individual hexagonal plate-like ice crystals are reported. The measurements were conducted at three different temperatures: −13, −16 and −20 ...

We investigate the melting and formation of ice in partially filled hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanopores of 3 nm diameter using molecular dynamics simulations with the mW water model. Above the melting temperature, the ...

The evolution of preferred crystal-orientation fabrics is strongly sensitive to the initial fabric and texture. A perturbation in climate can induce variations in fabric and texture in the firn. Feedbacks between fabric ...

A new strategy is presented for the designand synthesis of peptides that exhibitice-binding and antifreeze activity. Apennant-type dendrimer polypeptidescaffold combining an α-helical backbonewith four short β-strand ...

The presence of frost in the various cooling systems is a problem of high relevance to the commercial refrigeration. The layer of ice that forms on the cold surface grows over time, becoming more and more dense, causing a ...
