From: Self-jumping Mechanism of Melting Frost on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
The schematic and experimental images of the frost with strong (a) weak (b) ice bridges between the frozen droplets. The frost with strong ice bridges could shrink into an irregular-shaped solid/liquid mixture, and then showed self-jumping phenomena, leaving a dry area. The frost with weak ice bridges broke into small near-spherical parts, which could not show self-jumping phenomena, leaving micro-droplets pinning on the surface after the defrosting process.
