As described by Sushant Anand and co‐workers in article number 1807812 , water droplets condensing on solidified phase‐switching liquids (PSLs) chilled to frigid temperatures “dance” on the surface, fueled by melting of the surface induced by the intermittent condensation heat flux; this eventually delays surface icing/frosting for prolonged periods of time.
