TL;DR: The simulations predict that water freezing above this temperature must necessarily be heterogeneous, and Classical Nucleation Theory (CNT) is used to estimate the ice-water interfacial free energy and the nucleation free-energy barrier.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a wide range of cellular proteins, including FUS, TDP-43, Brd4, Sox2, and Annexin A11, can reenter a phase-separated regime at high salt concentrations.

TL;DR: The results show that seeding is a powerful technique to investigate crystal nucleation and the crystal-fluid interfacial free energy extrapolated to coexistence conditions is also in good agreement with direct calculations of such parameter.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used classical nucleation theory to estimate the ice-water interfacial free energy and the nucleation free energy barrier, and obtained an extrapolation of their results to the melting temperature, in good agreement both with experimental measurements and with previous estimates from computer simulations of TIP4P-like models.

TL;DR: The results suggest that it may be possible to observe in computer simulations spontaneous crystallization of TIP4P/2005 at about 60 K below the melting point, and that for all water models γ decreases as the temperature decreases.
