Nanoscale Thermodynamics is a technology on the Diplomacy and Trading technology tree with a research cost of 1800 . It unlocks one Star System Improvement, requires research in Planetary Landscaping, and allows further research in Inter-Species HR.
"Thermodynamic systems are essentially simple circuits of absorption, transport, convection, and condensation. To do this on the level of atoms and molecules is something else, however. A capacity to create nano- and pico-scale units that heat and refrigerate is a game-changer. No pun intended."
Note[]
For the Harmony, this technology instead allows further research in Advanced Biologics.
Compact Refrigeration[]
Requires : Hyperium
"Mastery of increasingly miniaturized thermodynamics permits the creation of heat exchange systems small enough to fit into almost any item. Using these technologies, the risk of food spoiling is essentially reduced to zero."
