Scientists discovered that polar bear fur’s oily coating prevents ice from sticking, thanks to a unique mix of lipids. This ...

Should you panic if your plane is doused in a colorful slime that's as freakily artificial as something out of a sci-fi film? Fly often enough, and there’s nothing new under the sky—even the ...

In short, deicing is necessary because snow and ice on airplane wings can decrease lift by as much as 30%. Lift is the vertical upward force that keeps a plane in the sky. It is generated when air ...

Catherine Yokan from NMIS discusses her work on advanced composites, addressing challenges in aerospace manufacturing and ...

The University of Michigan College of Engineering have begun a $11.4 million DARPA-funded project, called IceCycle.

Droplets of less volatile liquids like soybean oil and silicone oil have lower saturation pressures than water.

Researchers found compounds produced in polar bear skin that were as ice resistant as PFAS, offering potential novel ...

Anti-icing solutions are used to help prevent the future accumulation ... Airlines may sometimes also use icephobic coatings to help keep new ice from forming and sticking on the outside surfaces of ...
