International Research Team Discovers that it Takes some Heat to form Ice on Graphene Written by AZoNanoMay 27 2021 A new study from the University of Surrey, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge and Graz University of Technology (Austria), reveals that energy is needed for water to proceed through the first step of ice formation on graphene. Image Credit: University of Surrey In a paper published in Nature Communications, the research team details the complex physical processes at work to understand the chemistry of ice formation. The molecular-level perspective of this process may help in predicting the formation and melting of ice, from individual crystals to glaciers and ice sheets. The latter being crucial to quantify environmental transformation in connection with climate change and global warming
