One of the most influential science studies of all time started with a modest minicomputer, some simulated boxes of water molecules, and a grand vision for computer-aided chemistry. The year was 1982.

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

A team of Chinese researchers use computer simulations to provide new answers to a long-standing dispute in the field of material and chemical physics field regarding how water droplets freeze.
