Researchers at the University of Surrey, in collaboration with an international team, have found that a unique mix of lipids in the fur’s sebum drastically reduces ice adhesion—an insight that could ...

The hypothetical alternative pathways outlined above illustrate the potential competition for various isomeric pentadienyl and peroxyeicosatetraenoyl radical intermediates that may be crucial for a ...

Traditional approaches can take years to generate an effective lipid, but the team's guided evolution process may shorten that time to a matter of weeks or months. Our hope is that this method ...

We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer, but how do we know this, and who figured it out? Aa Aa Aa Most books mention that membranes have a typical "lipid bilayer," but why ...

Polar bear fur’s natural ability to resist ice formation could pave the way for safer, more sustainable solutions to prevent ...

Anti-icing materials could be developed following a study of polar bear fur and its ability to remain ice-free.
