Two liquid states of water and a hidden critical point
The image shows fungi and a close-up into the fungus. On the left-hand side, the InaZ protein is shown, which ensures that the fungi are ice-active.

Fungi use “start button” for ice from bacteria

New class of water-soluble proteins opens up applications in freezing technology
