No one can control the weather, but certain clouds can be deliberately triggered to release rain or snow. The process, known as cloud seeding, typically involves dispersing small silver iodide ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

But ice has a similar 3D crystal lattice to sodium iodide. The crystal lattice structures of silver iodide (Left) and ice (Right) are surprisingly similar. Sources: Snow crystals.com Cal Tech), ...
