Researchers engineer cold-tolerant proteins to give US an Arctic edge

As the Arctic region becomes increasingly contested, the U.S. military faces a new era of challenges in one of the world's most inhospitable environments. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, are tapping into the unique properties of ice-affecting biomolecules to develop novel materials and technologies that could give the nation a critical strategic and operational edge.
