The formation of ice from supercooled water is a process that underpins natural phenomena ranging from cloud formation and climate regulation to technological applications such as cryopreservation.

When ultraviolet light hits ice—whether in Earth's polar regions or on distant planets—it triggers a cascade of chemical reactions that have puzzled scientists for decades. Now, researchers at the ...

The left image shows a crystal structure of dynamic water molecule cluster like liquid at −20 °C in the supercooled water state revealed previously by X-ray structural analysis. The right image shows ...
