Supercooling is a phenomenon where a liquid is cooled below its freezing point without it becoming solid. This occurs when a liquid is in a perfectly homogeneous state, meaning there are no impurities or surface defects to serve as nucleation sites for crystallization. Under these conditions, the molecules in the liquid can remain in a disordered, liquid state despite the temperature being below the typical freezing point.
