Fulgii de nea sunt combinaţia mai multor cristale de gheaţă, însă formele pe care le iau sunt de o complexitate incredibilă.
Kenneth Libbrecht studiază compoziţia şi forma multor fulgi de nea în Laboratorul Departamentului de Fizică de la Institutul de Tehnologie California, SUA.
Kenneth Libbrecht a inventat o maşină high-tech, care produce fulgi diferiţi şi unici, la fel cum aceştia sunt în natură. El creează fulgi de zăpadă uimitori, de toate formele şi mărimile.
În natură, nu se vor găsi niciodată doi fulgi de zăpadă identici, iar Libbrecht încearcă să-şi dea seama de ce. Pentru cercetările sale, el urmăreşte procesul de formare a acestor cristalele condensate din vapori de apă pe un substrat de safir.
De-a lungul anilor, Libbrecht a adunat o colecţie de fotografii geniale, nemaivorbind de distincţia e care a primit-o – primul artist din lume al fulgilor de nea.
