Supercooling occurs when a liquid is cooled slowly and without agitation, preventing the formation of nucleation
The transition from a supercooled liquid to a solid can be triggered by several factors. Mechanical shock,
A common everyday example of supercooling can be observed with pure water. If distilled water is carefully
