Laurie Winkles: What's the future of ice research? And I'm afraid to go to Chuck because he'll give us another public service announcement and we don't have time for that. "What I'm hoping to see is some interesting work around can we design surfaces so that they change how ice forms on them?" She says her most recent book is Sticky with a whole chapter on ice in there, and lots of curling controversies as well.
What makes ice slippery? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly uncover the complex physics of ice and cool facts we’re still learning about it with physicist and author, Laurie Winkless.
