Magnetic slippery extreme icephobic surfaces

Anti-icing surfaces are useful in our daily life, but creation of these surfaces at low temperatures remains challenging due to the onset of heterogeneous nucleation. Irajizad et al. show a surface design using magnetic fluid that lowers the freezing temperature to −34 °C and ice adhesion strength t...
