The two distinct challenges of ice build-up: water adherence and ice adherence, are often conflated in anti-icing nano surface studies. Penguin feathers are excellent natural examples of anti-icing nano surfaces. As remarkable anti-icing strategies, these feathers use two distinct mitigation mechanisms, namely water-shedding and ice-shedding.
