Supercooled Water Droplets:
Water droplets that have been brought below the freezing point, while still maintaining a liquid state, are called supercooled water droplets. They occur in certain atmospheric conditions where the surrounding air is very cold but with low levels of ice crystals. These droplets can exist at temperatures as low as -40°C where their molecules move slower than usual, delaying the formation of ice crystals. However, they are very unstable and can quickly freeze upon contact with any surface or object which provides a nucleus for crystal formation. Supercooled water droplets form the basis of several natural phenomena such as freezing rain and diamond dust. Scientists and weather enthusiasts have been studying these droplets to better understand their behavior and their impact on the weather patterns.
