a Ice temperature, Tice, as a function of PCB heater voltage, directly above the heater and 50 mm away along the length direction. The temperature of the interface above the heater (TH) and the temperature of the ice above the low interfacial toughness (LIT) material and heater (Tice) were monitored for various lengths of ice: b 150 mm, c 60 mm, and d 20 mm. The target temperature of TH = Tice = −5 °C was reached after 30 s at 4.4 V for all three lengths of ice. Source data are provided as a Source Data file67.
