法国普瓦提埃大学和国家科学研究院(CNRS)的研究人员设计出一种能像电子晶体管控制电流那样控制热流的量子热晶体管,可用于从发电站及其它能源系统中收集并循环利用余热。据悉,虽然这不是世界上第一个热晶体管,但是是世界上第一个由量子物体制造的热晶体管,而其它热晶体管多采用宏观材料如固体或相变材料制造。这种量子热晶体 Researchers at the University of Poitier and CNRS in France have devised a quantum thermal transistor that controls heat flow as electronic transistor-controlled currents can be used to collect and recycle waste heat from power stations and other energy systems . It is reported that although this is not the world’s first thermal transistor, but it is the world’s first thermal transistor made of quantum objects, and other thermal transistors and more use of macro materials such as solid or phase change material. This kind of quantum hot crystal
