Why is Heat Generation Significant in Nanotechnology?
At the nanoscale, the ratio of surface area to volume increases dramatically, which affects thermal conduction, convection, and radiation. Efficient heat management is crucial to prevent overheating, which can lead to the failure of nanoscale devices. For example, in nanoelectronics, excessive heat can degrade the performance of transistors and other components. In biomedical applications, controlled heat generation can be used for targeted therapy.
