Multiple layers of graphene show strong heat conducting properties that can be harnessed in removing dissipated heat from electronic devices, a team of scientists from the University of California reported in a recently published paper in the journal Nature Materials. Having previously shown that graphene — a two-dimensional layer of carbon atoms packed in a honeycomb structure … [Read more...]
Engineer Honored for Contributions to Thermal Research
Binghamton University faculty member Bahgat Sammakia received the 2010 ITherm Achievement Award during the 12th Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems in honor of his contributions to electronics, thermal and thermomechanical research, as well as his service to the electronics thermal management community. Sammakia, director of … [Read more...]
Thermoelectricity: Turning Temperature Differences Directly into Electricity
The fundamental problem in creating efficient thermoelectric materials is that they need to be good at conducting electricity, but not at conducting thermal energy, say Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers. That way, one side can get hot while the other gets cold, instead of the material quickly equalizing the temperature. But in most materials, electrical … [Read more...]
Heat Sink Reliability Risks from Thermal Greases
ATS Thermal Labs has published a white paper, “Long term Thermal Grease Reliability.” It considers how long term heat sink reliability is affected by the use of thermal greases as thermal interface materials. The implications are very important as they will affect the MTBF of electronic equipment. Read the paper from ATS Thermal Labs. … [Read more...]
Multiple Platforms CPU Cooler
GlacialTech has introduced the IGLOO 5760 Multiple Platforms CPU cooler. This design incorporates a specially aligned copper heat pipe combination of three pipes that disperse the heat from the CPU directly into the heat sink fins. From there, the silent bullet axial fan quietly and efficiently brings the temperature down. The fan not only cools the radiator, but the added blow … [Read more...]
