What's Special About This Number?
Creating Anti Icing Surfaces : Blog : GE Global Research - Flock
My name is Joseph Vinciquerra and I’m a project leader in the Mechanical Integration & Operability Laboratory at GE’s Global Research Center in Niskayuna, New York. For the past several years, we have been working with nanotechnology to understand and exploit superhydrophobic materials in an attempt to make surfaces resistant to atmospheric icing, or ice that forms at certain altitudes or on the ground in cold weather climates. You may have seen our famous water bouncing video on YouTube, which generated quite a bit of buzz on the Internet last year.
