A new spin on antifreeze: Researchers create ultra slippery anti-ice and anti-frost surfaces

Monday, June 11, 2012 - 12:30 in Physics & Chemistry

A team of researchers from Harvard University have invented a way to keep any metal surface free of ice and frost. The treated surfaces quickly shed even tiny, incipient condensation droplets or frost simply through gravity. The technology prevents ice sheets from developing on surfaces—and any ice that does form, slides off effortlessly.
