Nanostructured materials repel water droplets before they have a chance to freeze

ScienceDaily (2010-11-14) -- Engineers have designed and demonstrated ice-free nanostructured materials that literally repel water droplets before they even have the chance to freeze. The finding could lead to a new way to help keep airplane wings, buildings, powerlines, and even entire highways free and clear of ice during the worst winter weather.http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101113170001.htm#
