It’s not the size of the rod, but how you use it…
I have this strange affinity for this planet, its where all my stuff is. So I will be writing more about the “green tech” advancements of this world of monkeys, and my own efforts. Screw Shakespeare, lets see if a thousand monkeys can add a few years to the planet.
Nanorods are being researched as a way to increase the efficiency of solar panels, but now they have discovered other uses.
Copper Nanorods Reduce Energy Needed by an Order of Magnitude
After super-efficient solar panels
that are “hairy” on the nanoscale, here come “hairy” pots & pans,
as well as computer chip heatsinks and other heat-transferring devices.
Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute made the
“unexpected” discovery: “by adding an invisible layer of the
nanomaterials to the bottom of a metal vessel, an order of magnitude
increase in efficiency is achieved in bringing water to boil. [...] The
potential applications for this discovery are vast and exciting, and
we’re eager to continue our investigations into this phenomenon.”
