Bio-inspired design of ice-retardant devices based on benthic marine invertebrates: the effect of surface texture

Growth of ice on surfaces poses a challenge for both organisms and for devices that come into contact with liquids below the freezing point. Resistance of some organisms to ice formation and growth, either in subtidal environments (e.g. Antarctic anchor ice), or in environments with moisture and col...
