It isn’t pressure or friction that makes ice slippery, but hidden forces at the molecular level. New findings show that dipole interactions disrupt ice’s structure in unexpected ways. Credit: Shutterstock For nearly two centuries, scientists believed that ice becomes slippery because pressure or friction melts its surface. New research from Saarland University overturns this idea. For more than a century, …
