Billions of dollars lost each year as waste heat from industrial processes can be converted into electricity with a technology being developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The high-efficiency thermal waste heat energy converter actively cools electronic devices, photovoltaic cells, computers and large waste heat-producing systems while generating … [Read more...]
Hot STM Captures Thermal Decomposition in situ at the Nanoscale
A new report in the journal Nanotechnology offers findings of a nanoscale in situ investigation of ultrathin silicon oxide thermal decomposition by high temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. A surface chemical reaction—the thermal decomposition of ultrathin silicon oxide (~1 nm) by ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) thermal annealing at 600–800 °C—is in situ investigated on a … [Read more...]
