The smallest ice crystals in the world
Researchers from U. Buck’s group at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization and T. Zeuch from the University of Göttingen have found out how many water molecules must be present in water clusters in order to form an ice crystal with six-fold symmetry. According to their findings, a cluster with a minimum of 475 water molecules exhibits the structure of a crystal. The findings about the crystallisation of water to ice help to understand cloud formation and thus assist climate research.
