Nucleation of liquids visualised
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

Researchers from the UvA`s Institute of Physics (IoP) and Leiden University have found a new way to visualise and measure the nucleation process responsible for the formation of liquid droplets in vapour. Their findings, published this week in Physical Review Letters, improve our understanding of the nanoscale processes underlying the nucleation of liquids, and help to develop more accurate models of nucleation in fields from nanoscience to atmospheric science.
