In the Clean Aviation project, Fraunhofer researchers teamed up with partners to develop a system that causes icy spots on aircraft wings to vibrate, removing the ice. This dramatically reduces the ...

How do you control ice formation on a plane, even when it's in flight? Engineers are developing an approach using ice itself. They created a de-icing method that exploits how frost grows on pillar ...

The annual battle against ice and frost, which costs industries billions in energy and hazardous chemicals, may soon have a powerful new weapon. Researchers at Virginia Tech in the US have created an ...

Active de-icing involves an external energy input used to remove the ice, typically through thermal, chemical or mechanical methods. In contrast, passive de-icing either reduces the accretion rate of ...

A Canadian startup, Betterfrost Technologies, has developed a new system to keep vehicle windshields clear of ice. Unlike current methods, their tech, called “pulsed electro-thermal deicing,” can ...

ATLANTA - Ice and snow are on the way with this winter storm. Stores across metro Atlanta are having a hard time keeping rock salt and ice melt on the shelves. Many are trying to find alternatives to ...
