Sentences with phrase «heat conductance»

Roukes says researchers learned about «the granularity of nature at the nanoscale,» where processes that are continuous at larger sales (such as electrical and heat conductance) are no longer so, and «quantum effects become dramatically manifest.»

This duality of heat conductance — stopping heat penetrating through in one direction and guiding away any that does in another — gives it a big edge over other insulators, says Hu.

Not exact matches

The thermal conductance of an interface determines the rate of heat flow for a given temperature difference between the materials.

Because the imaginary particles of Fermi - liquid theory carry heat and charge in equal amounts, the researchers expected to see equal rates of conductance from both.

Secondly, the design leads to small — aperture vacuum chambers that result in low vacuum conductance and the need for distributed pumping as well as for the distributed absorption of heat deposited by the synchrotron radiation.
