http://pressroom.prlog.org/QEDradiation/About QED induced radiation - Classically, thermal EM radiation conserves heat by an increase in temperature. But at the nanoscale, temperature increases are forbidden by quantum mechanics. QED radiation explains how heat is conserved by the emission of nonthermal EM radiation. http://www.prlog.org/12118513-joule-heating-in-monolayer-graphene-field-effect-transistors.htmlClaims based on classical physics that Joule heat in graphene monolayer Field-effect transistors produces temperatures in excess of 1000 K are refuted by quantum mechanics.Wed, 17 Apr 2013 13:04:57 GMT
