After what feels like forever, our work developing ice-phobic surface comprised entirely of flat metals has finally been published! And a Cover Photo too 🙂 Super amazing work Kamran and co-authors! These Buckling Elastomer-like Anti-icing Metallic Surfaces (BEAMS) represent the next generation of ice-phobic surfaces as they offer the same ultra-low ice adhesion strength as soft rubbers or even lubricants, but are made from durable metals. Seems crazy right? Well, all the more reason to check out:
