AeroSHARK is a film—just 50 micrometers (less than .002 inches) thick—that draws inspiration from shark skin, reducing friction through air-channeling microgrooves called riblets. This improves fuel ...

The inherent hardness, brittleness and low thermal conductivity of glass make it highly challenging to fabricate large-area glass microgrooves, especially those with tunable cross-sectional shapes.
