* Frost: When water vapor in the air comes into contact with a cold surface (like a window pane), it freezes directly into ice crystals, forming frost.
* Snow: Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes directly into ice crystals.
* Dry Ice: Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. It is formed by compressing and cooling carbon dioxide gas, causing it to solidify.
* Sublimation Printing: This process uses a heated printhead to deposit a solid ink directly onto a surface, bypassing the liquid phase. It's commonly used for printing on fabrics and other surfaces.
* Formation of Crystalline Silicon: Pure silicon used in computer chips and solar panels is made by depositing silicon gas (silane) onto a substrate.
* Formation of Thin Films: In vacuum deposition techniques, materials like metals and ceramics are evaporated as gases and then condense onto a substrate, forming thin films. This is used in the production of electronics, optics, and other technologies.
