Researchers Develop Technique to Efficiently De-Ice Surfaces in Seconds
Airplane wings, wind turbines, and indoor heating systems all struggle under the weight and chill of ice. Defrosting and de-icing techniques are energy-intensive, however, and…

A group of researchers has devised a method of sliding ice and frost off surfaces by melting the interfacial layer directly. In the future, a…
Polyurethane is used in a wide range of materials, including paints, foam mattresses, seat cushions, and insulation. These diverse applications generate large amounts of waste….
Illinois and SLAC researchers use a new technique. One of the greatest mysteries in condensed matter physics is the exact relationship between charge order and…
The inner workings of high-power electronic devices must remain cool to operate reliably. High internal temperatures can make programs run slower, freeze or shut down….
The pull-up, an exercise dreaded by most, answers a basic question: are your muscles strong enough to lift your own body weight? Some Illinois researchers…
Abbamonte group achieves first-ever measurement of excitonium collective modes and first observation of soft plasmon in any material. Excitonium has a team of researchers at…
MIT scientists have determined the structure of an enzyme that is found in ocean microbes and can produce a precursor to methane. Industrial and agricultural…
New research from a team of geologists reveals that the Earth’s inner core has an inner core of its own, with crystals aligned in a…
A new study details how researchers used an array of novel gold, pillar-bowtie nanoantennas like traditional photographic film to record light for distances that are…
