The ARCHER2 calendar image for November is "Ice is born in vibrating nanopores" by Mr Pengxu Chen, School of Engineering, The University of Edinburgh. This image won the Early Career category of the 2025 ARCHER2 Image Competition.
Full details at edin.ac/4qwis3C
Image by Mr Pengxu Chen, School of Engineering, The University of Edinburgh. Ice nucleation in supercooled water begins when small molecular clusters organize into the first ice-like structures. The figure shows this process: white molecules indicate ice (transparent particles) forming within supercooled water (blue particles) confined in a nanopore whose wall vibrates. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that vibration induces negative pressure as the wall stretches the confined liquid. This tension promotes the growth of larger ice-like clusters, thereby accelerating nucleation. Once these clusters reach a critical size, they coalesce into a stable front that propagates swiftly across the nanopore, transforming the entire volume into ice. All simulations were conducted in LAMMPS on the ARCHER2.
