Northwestern secured a record $1.05 billion in research funding this fiscal year, a 5% increase from 2023. The Daily compiled a recap of NU’s latest research developments. NU engineers have developed ...

Frost occurs when the air temperature becomes lower than the dew point. Water molecules then condense on objects, such as windshields and grass. For frost to form, the air temperature needs to be at ...

Optimized surface structure innately reduces frost without heat or special coating Approach even prevents frost formation on materials designed to attract water Reducing frost increases energy ...

Someday, people might finally say goodbye to defrosting the freezer or scraping frost off slippery surfaces. Northwestern University engineers have developed a new strategy that prevents frost ...

QUAD CITIES, Iowa/Ill. (KWQC) - During the late fall, winter and early spring, frost is a common occurrence in the Quad Cities. Frost describes the formation of thin ice crystals on the ground or ...

Frost formation on cold surfaces is a phenomenon of significant industrial and environmental importance. It occurs when water vapour in the atmosphere deposits and freezes, creating a layer of frost ...

Frost forms different patterns as it spreads across a surface depending upon the level of humidity, a novel imaging technique has revealed. These patterns range from complete surface coverage to ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It’s that time of year where frost is a concern for parts of the region. But how does frost actually form? And what should you do protect your plants and vegetation? Let’s start ...

Frost—a fluffy member of the ice family that forms when water vapor freezes to a surface—may seem innocuous to many people. But scientists have worked for years to design surfaces that limit its ...

Ice and airplane wings don’t mix particularly well, with the added weight making it hard for the aircraft to take off, or causing it potentially catastrophic problems once in the air. Scientists are ...

Trees, fences, and bushes sparkle in winter’s icy magic, but are you looking at rime ice or hoar frost? Learn the difference ...

Northwestern University researchers discovered a new way to significantly reduce frost formation on any surface. The finding could help decrease the amount of energy needed for de-frosting and could ...
