| contents | In a recent article [J. G. Wang, U. Dhumal, M. E. Zakhari, and R. N. Zia, AIChE Journal 72, e70275 (2026).], the authors discuss the absence of simulations of monodisperse hard spheres in which a metastable fluid spontaneously nucleates into a stable fluid-crystal coexistence. Here, we show that such a simulation can be readily accomplished with standard simulation methods. |
