"The processes by which heat is transferred at interfaces between different materials are poorly understood," Pipe said. " ...
... speculates several factors likely account for nanoparticle-enabled improvements in heat-transfer performance. For one, nanoparticles of materials with high thermal conductivity improve heat transfer ...
... air through finned devices called heat sinks attached to computer chips, miniature ... boils inside the channels and measured how much heat is transferred by this boiling refrigerant. He also created ...
... can require a boiler to be shut down while heat transfer surfaces are cleaned or repaired. According to a report by ... to route low-quality coal to a higher-performing boiler.
"LIBS would enable us to ...
... steel columns. One key property was the thermal conductivity of the material: How quickly does heat transfer through it? Thermal insulation has a low thermal conductivity and metals have a high ...
... a carotenoid electron to leave its partner electron and move to fullerene's outer orbital. Since the transfer of the single electron causes the outer orbital of fullerene to gain an electron and be ...
... Using sensitive X-ray measurements they demonstrated that NIL could be used on a functional SOG material to transfer patterns with details finer than 100 nanometers with minimal distortion due to the ...
... techniques "may be a way forward when nanofabricators bump up against the limits of lithography and pattern transfer," he said.
Next, Chou's group plans to demonstrate this technique on large (8-inch ...
