supercoolings
Supercooling, also known as undercooling, is a process where a liquid is cooled below its freezing point without solidifying. This occurs when the liquid remains in a homogeneous state, lacking the necessary nucleation sites or impurities to initiate crystallization. The liquid is in a metastable state, and any disturbance, such as a jolt or the introduction of a seed crystal, can trigger rapid solidification.
The phenomenon of supercooling is observed in various substances, including water. Pure water can be supercooled
Supercooling has practical applications in several fields. In meteorology, it plays a role in cloud formation,
