A liquid is supercooled when it is in a liquid state below its melting point, so when it's supposed to be a solid. When a supercooled liquid goes from the liquid phase to the solid phase, this is ussualy done by a very rapid crystallization. See video 3 below for a rapid crystallization of a supercooled liquid.

- Description: Images of growing sodium thiosulfite crystals. The sodium thiosulfite has been turned into a supercooled liquid state; it is a liquid beneath its melting point. By introducing a small crystal of it, it will instantaneously crystalize.
