Emoto claimed that water was a "blueprint for our reality" and that emotional "energies" and "vibrations" could change its physical structure. [14] His water crystal experiments consisted of exposing water in glasses to various words, pictures, or music, then freezing it and examining the ice crystals' aesthetic properties with microscopic photography.

Possible shapes for ice crystals are columns, needles, plates and dendrites. Mixed patterns are also possible. [1] The symmetric shapes are due to depositional growth, which is when ice forms directly from water vapor in the atmosphere. [5] Small spaces in atmospheric particles can also collect water, freeze, and form ice crystals.
Faraday's ice pail experiment is a simple electrostatics experiment performed in 1843 by British scientist Michael Faraday [1] [2] that demonstrates the effect of electrostatic induction on a conducting container. For a container, Faraday used a metal pail made to hold ice, which gave the experiment its name. [3]
The Hidden Messages in Water is a 2004 New York Times Bestseller [1] book, written by Masaru Emoto advancing the pseudoscientific idea that the molecular structure of water is changed by the presence of human consciousness nearby, [2] backed by "exhaustive and wildly unscientific research" [3] claiming to back this conjecture.
Naturally occurring ice spikes, often in the form of circular ice candles or polyhedral ice towers (usually triangular), are occasionally found in containers of frozen rainwater or tapwater. [8] Water expands by 9% as it freezes into ice and the simplest shape of an ice crystal that reflects its internal structure is a hexagonal prism.
A more stable polymorph of water than common ice (Ice I h), which instead of melting when above 0°C (32°F), only melts at 45.8°C (114.4°F). When ice-nine comes in contact with liquid water below 45.8°C, it acts as a seed crystal, and causes the solidification of the entire body of water, which quickly crystallizes as more ice-nine ...

Ice nucleation mechanisms describe four modes that are responsible for the formation of primary ice crystals in the atmosphere. [clarification needed]An ice nucleus, also known as an ice nucleating particle (INP), is a particle which acts as the nucleus for the formation of an ice crystal in the atmosphere.
