Chemical Science
I am really quite proud of this paper. For one thing, it marks my transition from studying ice forming on inorganic materials to exploring the formation of ice in soft and biological matter. Secondly, this work is the result of a combined effort of molecular simulations and state-of-the-art experimental techniques – a contribution for which we have to thank T. Whale, M. Holden and B. Murray, all based at the University of Leeds. Experiments & Simulations together are still fairly rare a sight when it comes to ice – but things are changing, and it feels good to be a part of the tide. While contemplating the exciting possibilities in terms of future work that may be originating from this collaboration, have a look at the manuscript online – or just grab a .pdf!
