What do you add to ice (H2O) crystals to prevent it from melting at room temperature?
Answer:
I suspect that anything you add to the water crystals to attempt to make them not melt would alter the crystal lattice. There might be something that takes the same crystal structure (BCC, FCC, etc) and is about the same size as a water molecule such that it would work, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
You could try Pykrete,

but, again, it wouldn't really be a water crystal.
add salt to the outside of the cube, and or in the water
Oh dear...alex alex alex.if you add salt to water it REDUCES the freezing point...i.e.it will remain liquid at below zero degrees Celcius.that's why we put salt on the roads in winter, dear boy.
Because of the nature of the Phase Diagram of water, there is NOTHING you can add that will increase the freezing point...not at 1 atmosphere pressure...
if you were an eskimo obviously your room temperature would be lower than were used to.
try moving somewhere cold
lol
Why ask a question when you already know the answer? Sodium Chloride.
Wrap tight in cling film, then in Aluminium foil, shiny side out, then in a thick layer of newpaper ...it will last for hours.
I've got to agree with newfaldon. Nothing you can add to water will preserve a (water) ice crystal above it's freezing point. If you don't like working in the cold, try studying some room temperature crystals, of which there are a myriad. How about common salt?
Low pressure would do it, but thats about it.
