Ice nucleation on microcline (001) in the absence of active sites

Of the many different ice-nucleating mineral particles, dust from feldspar mineral microcline stands out as being particularly active. However, why microcline outperforms other particles remains a puzzle. Here, we use nanoscale imaging to show that the (001) surface of microcline can induce ice nucleation even in the a...

How ice grows on calcite.

Ice nucleation is ubiquitous in nature and technology and decisive for a wide range of fields, including biology, geochemistry and environmental science. In most cases, ice nucleation occurs heterogeneously due to the presence of an ice nucleating material. Despite its importance, we still largely fail to reliably pred...
