Crystallization is one of the most fundamental nonequilibrium
phenomena universal to a variety of materials. It has so far been
assumed that a supercooled liquid is in a “homogeneous disor-
dered state” before crystallization. Contrary to this common belief,
we reveal that a supercooled colloidal liquid is actually not homo-
geneous, but has transient medium-range structural order. We find
that nucleation preferentially takes place in regions of high struc-
tural order via wetting effects, which reduce the crystal–liquid in-
terfacial energy significantly and thus promotes crystal nucleation.
This novel scenario provides a clue to solving a long-standing mys-
tery concerning a large discrepancy between the rigorous numer-
ical estimation of the nucleation rate on the basis of the classical
nucleation theory and the experimentally observed ones. Our find-
ingmay shed light not only on themechanism of crystal nucleation,
but also on the fundamental nature of a supercooled liquid state.

Crystallization is a process in which an ordered phase emergesfrom a disordered state. It is important not only as a funda-
mental problem of nonequilibrium statistical physics, but also as
that of materials science. The initial state is a disordered liquid
and the final state is a stable crystal. The classical nucleation the-
ory (1–3) considers these initial homogeneous disordered liquid
and final ordered crystal phases as the only key players of nuclea-
tion. In this theory, thus, crystal nucleation is controlled by the
competition between the free-energy gain due to the liquid–crys-
tal transforma
