Cryopreservation technology has developed into a fundamental and important supporting
method for biomedical applications such as cell‐based therapeutics, tissue engineering …

Passive anti-icing surfaces, or icephobic surfaces, are an area of great interest because of
their significant economic, energy and safety implications in the prevention and easy …

The need for improved anti-icing surfaces is the demand of the time and closely related to
many important aspects of our lives as surface icing threatens not only industrial production …

The mechanism of ice nucleation at the molecular level remains largely unknown. Nature
endows antifreeze proteins (AFPs) with the unique capability of controlling ice formation …

Ice-binding proteins (IBP) facilitate survival under extreme conditions in diverse life forms.
IBPs in polar fishes block further growth of internalized environmental ice and inhibit ice …

Organisms that thrive at cold temperatures produce ice-binding proteins to manage the
nucleation and growth of ice. Bacterial ice-nucleating proteins (INP) are typically large and …

The state-of-the-art of icing protection systems for helicopter rotor blades is based on active
thermal de-icing systems that require large amounts of power. This work focused on …

Several types of natural molecules interact specifically with ice crystals. Small antifreeze
proteins (AFPs) adsorb to particular facets of ice crystals, thus inhibiting their growth …

Fog, frost, ice, and other natural phenomena can inevitably affect human life and the function
of equipment. Therefore, removal or prevention is an urgent problem to be solved. As a new …

The severe environmental conditions in winter seasons and/or cold climate regions cause
many inconveniences in our routine daily-life, related to blocked road infrastructure …
