Cloud Inspired White and Grey Plasmonic Metasurfaces for Camouflaged Thermal Management
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by clouds' role in Earth's thermal management, this work presents disordered plasmonic metasurfaces that mimic their radiative effects. The white metasurface enhances backscattering, acting as a cooling layer with camouflage properties.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Water impacting, freezing, melting, and being mechanically removed from the designed dielectric surfaces generates a triboeletric signal that can be used to detect various icing and de‐icing scenarios. The charge transferred directly scales with the interfacial fracture mechanism, further validating triboelectricity as an excellent ice‐detection ...

Wind tunnel experiments: cold-air pooling and atmospheric decoupling above a melting snow patch [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 The longevity of perennial snowfields is not fully understood, but it is known that strong atmospheric stability and thus boundary-layer decoupling limit the amount of (sensible and latent) heat that can be transmitted from the atmosphere to the snow ...
