Brilliant science.

Smaller and smaller and smaller it goes.....

Tis... just a shame it'll be "wasted" (for the most part). Be an interesting way to heat a house when coupled with them rear windscreen strips.

Be interesting if they manage to crack the production problem, which is probably just a matter of time.

I hope that irony was deliberate...

This is true.

This technology will be wasted on making people less empathic and slaves too the screen. As I type at my computer screen

A matter of time I guess.

Badly phrased... I meant more options for heating a house. Wonder if you could build an entire house out of the stuff.

Upgrade upgrade upgrade.

... If spectacularly inefficient.

But yeah, why waste it using it where it provides the most benefit?

So suggest an alternative. Or is that not your bag?

To heat a house? I can do that with no power whatsoever.

Using a fancy wire to deliver power to an element, (car defrosters are screen printed silver) embedded into windows makes zero difference to the power required to produce the heat, and it chucks most of it straight outside.

How?

Who said anything about embedding those elements into windows?

[Ocean1]

How?

Insulate it.

You did.

An alternative is to use it for circuitry and other advanced stuff. Using it in heaters is a spectacularly stupid idea, given that the job of a heater is to turn energy to heat through resistive losses, so minimising the losses on the wire to it is a waste of tech.

You did.

WOW... keeps a house heated all night. I'm susprised more people don't use the stuff. The govt should set up grants.

No I didn't.

Not in heaters, to conduct electickery for heaters... but you covered that.

It does.

And I'm pickin' the sun appearing every morning surprises you.

And they did, of course. It doubled the cost to the end user overnight. Most subsidies have that effect.
