On Modulating Interfacial Structure towards Improved Anti-Icing Performance

On Modulating Interfacial Structure towards Improved Anti-Icing Performance

The design of anti-icing surfaces presents an interface with high causal density that has been challenging to quantify in terms of individual contributions of various interactions and environmental factors. In this commentary, we highlight the role of interfacial water structure as uniquely expressi...
