Kenneth libbrech, a physicist from the California Institute of technology, obsession with unusual snow crystals has led him to shed light on the snow crystallization process. Libbrecht used a new model that tries to explain why no two snowflakes are alike. His model showcases the dance of water molecules near the freezing point and how the particular movements of those molecules may account for the array of crystals that develop under various situations. Libbrecht concludes more research and advanced computer simulations will help to unlock many mysteries about crystal growth in the future.
