Scientists have discovered that ice remains slippery at extremely low temperatures not due to melting or frictional heat, but because of molecular charge interactions causing a disordered, viscous layer on the surface, which forms through amorphization rather than melting, challenging traditional theories.
New research from Saarland University reveals that ice's slipperiness is caused by molecular dipole interactions at the surface, not pressure or friction, overturning nearly 200 years of scientific understanding and showing that a liquid film can form even at extremely low temperatures.
A new study from Saarland University overturns the long-held belief that pressure and friction cause ice to be slippery, revealing that molecular dipole interactions at the surface disrupt ice's structure and create a thin liquid film, even at extremely low temperatures, fundamentally changing our understanding of ice slipperiness.
New research from Saarland University overturns the long-held belief that pressure and friction cause ice to become slippery, revealing that molecular dipole interactions at the ice surface are responsible for forming a thin liquid layer, even at extremely low temperatures, challenging nearly two centuries of scientific understanding.
Snow flurries have caused slippery road conditions in some areas, prompting officials to urge drivers to exercise caution while driving.
