Mu gihe c'Umuyaga Ukomeye wo mu 1998, urubura rwakonje ku murongo w'amashanyarazi no ku nkingi, bituma uburaruko bwa Leta zunze ubumwe za Amerika n'amajyepfo ya Kanada, bituma benshi mu bukonje n'umwijima bamara iminsi ndetse n'ibyumweru.Yaba turbine z'umuyaga, iminara y'amashanyarazi, drone cyangwa amababa y'indege, kurwanya ubukana bwa ice akenshi bishingiye kuburyo butwara igihe, buhenze kandi / cyangwa bukoresha ingufu nyinshi n'imiti itandukanye.Ariko urebye ibidukikije, abashakashatsi ba McGill batekereza ko babonye uburyo bushya butanga icyizere cyo gukemura ikibazo.Bahumekewe n'amababa ya pingwin ya gentoo, pingwin zoga mu mazi yubukonje yo mu karere ka Antaragitika, ubwoya bwabwo ntibukonja nubwo ubushyuhe bwo hanze buri munsi yubukonje.
Twabanje gukora ubushakashatsi ku miterere yamababi ya lotus, meza cyane mu kuvoma amazi, ariko byagaragaye ko adakoresha neza amazi.nk'uko byatangajwe na Ann Kitzig, umwungirije wungirije ushinzwe imashini y’imiti muri kaminuza ya McGill akaba n’umuyobozi wa Biomimetic Surface Engineering Lab, imaze imyaka igera ku icumi ishakisha igisubizo, ibikoresho bishobora gukuraho amazi n’ibarafu.“
Ishusho ibumoso yerekana imiterere ya microscopique yibaba rya penguin (micron 10-yegeranye yinjizamo ihwanye na 1/10 ubugari bwimisatsi yumuntu, kugirango itange igitekerezo cyubunini).uhereye ku mababa yashami."Inkoni" zikoreshwa muguhuza umusatsi wamababa kugiti cye hamwe kugirango ube ibitambaro.Iburyo hari insinga idafite ibyumaumwendako abashakashatsi bashushanyijeho nanogrooves, bigana urwego rwimiterere yamababa ya penguin (insinga yicyuma hamwe na nanogrooves hejuru).
Michael Wood, umunyeshuri urangije vuba aha ukorana na Kitziger, umwe mu banditsi b'ubwo bushakashatsi abisobanura agira ati: “Twabonye ko gutondekanya amababa ubwabyo bitanga imiyoboro y'amazi, kandi hejuru yabyo bikagabanya gufata urubura.”Abanditsi basohoye ingingo nshya muri ACS Ikoreshwa ryibikoresho.Ati: "Twashoboye kwigana izo ngaruka zose hamwe na meshi yacishijwe insinga."
Kitzig yongeyeho ati: “Birashobora gusa nkaho bivuguruzanya, ariko urufunguzo rwo gushonga urubura ni uko imyenge yose iri kuri mesh ikurura amazi mu gihe cy'ubukonje.Amazi yo muri ibyo byobo niyo yanyuma yo gukonjesha, kandi uko yagutse, itera ibice nkibyo ubona muri firigo ya ice cube.Dukeneye imbaraga nke cyane kugirango dukureho urubura kuri gride, kubera ko ibice muri buri mwobo bigenda byoroha ku buso bwinsinga.
Abashakashatsi bakoze ibizamini byo mu muyoboro w’umuyaga hejuru y’ubutaka kandi basanze uburyo bwo kuvura bwaragize ingaruka nziza ku ijana ku ijana mu gukumira ibicu kuruta ibyuma bitagira umuyonga.Kubera ko nta muti w’imiti usabwa, uburyo bushya butanga igisubizo gishobora kubungabungwa ku kibazo cy’ibarafu ry’umuyaga, inkingi z’amashanyarazi, imirongo y’amashanyarazi na drones.
Ati: “Urebye umubare w'amabwiriza agenga indege zitwara abagenzi hamwe n'ingaruka ziterwa nayo, ntibishoboka ko ibaba ry'indege ryaba ryizingiye mu cyumamesh, ”Kitzig yongeyeho.Ati: "Icyakora, umunsi umwe hejuru yikibaba cyindege gishobora kuba gifite imyigire twiga, kandi gushushanya bizabaho hifashishijwe uburyo bwa de-icing gakondo bukorera hamwe ibaba.Ubuso burimo imyenda ihumekwa namababa ya penguin..imiterere y'ubutaka. ”
“Ubuso bwizewe bwo kurwanya ibishushanyo bishingiye ku mikorere ibiri - guhindagura urubura biterwa na microstructure hamwe n'amazi yongerewe imbaraga na nanostructure”, byanditswe na Michael J. Wood, Gregory Brock, Juliette Debret, Philippe Servio na Anne-Marie Kitzig, byasohotse muri ACS Appl.Imigaragarire
Yashinzwe i Montreal, muri Québec mu 1821, kaminuza ya McGill ni kaminuza ya mbere y’ubuvuzi ya Kanada.McGill ahora ashyirwa muri kaminuza nziza mu gihugu no ku isi.Ni ikigo "kizwi cyane ku isi" cy'amashuri makuru gifite ibikorwa by'ubushakashatsi hirya no hino mu bigo bitatu, amashami 11, amashuri 13 yabigize umwuga, gahunda 300 zo kwiga hamwe n’abanyeshuri barenga 40.000, harimo n’abanyeshuri barenga 10.200.McGill ikurura abanyeshuri baturutse mu bihugu birenga 150, kandi abanyeshuri bayo 12.800 mpuzamahanga bagize 31% byumubiri wabanyeshuri.Abarenga kimwe cya kabiri cyabanyeshuri ba McGill ni kavukire kavukire kavukire kitari Icyongereza, kandi hafi 19% byabanyeshuri bavuga ko igifaransa arirwo rurimi rwabo rwa mbere.
