PODCAST: Nenad Miljkovic on discovery, which can de-ice surfaces in seconds

Nenad Miljkovic's research group, collaborating with colleagues at Kyushu University of in Japan, discovered a method to de-ice surfaces in a matter of seconds. The method does so by using 1% of the energy and point 0.01 percent of the time. Professor Miljkovic talks about the discovery and how it could impact a number of industries. His is the principal investigator of the Energy Transport Research Laboratory, the associate director of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Center and an associate professor of mechanical science and engineering at  at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  Among the emphases of the lab is the interaction between liquids and a solid surface.
