Interfacial Free Energy as the Key to the Pressure-Induced Deceleration of Ice Nucleation
Jorge R. Espinosa, Alberto Zaragoza, Pablo Rosales-Peláez +4
The avoidance of water freezing is the holy grail in the cryopreservation of biological samples, food, and organs. Fast cooling rates are used to beat ice nucleation and avoid cell…
