15 Science, simple heat conduction, the diffusion of random molecular vibrations, can't explain how energy propagates through those nanoscale structures. To do this, the team used STM electrons with precise energies that excited only one of two types of molecular vibration. Thanks to their intrinsic features, microwaves have power to heat bodies made out of dipolar molecules from the inside by molecular vibration and therefore they are suitable for this type of sterilization," stated Giuseppe Ruozi, CMT's Chief Engineer. |
