(April 22nd, 2016) The James Webb Space Telescope had an “observatory core” test model twin of itself constructed for the biggest thermal test Goddard mechanical integration technician, Chris Matthews, has ever had. Matthews’ team of technicians put together the model, according to Phys.org, which will “stand in for the real thing in an upcoming test at NASA's Goddard Space … [Read more...]
Potential Electronics Cooling Application of Carbon Nanotubes
(April 21st, 2016) A technique has been found that could allow carbon nanotubes to be used in electronic cooling and as devices in microchips, sensors and circuits in the future. Phys.org reported that the technique “uses a laser and electrical current to precisely position and align carbon nanotubes” to make it a “potential new tool for creating electronic devices out of the … [Read more...]

Metal Inverse Opals Could Better Cool Electronics
(April 7th, 2016) New work by researchers at Stanford University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, suggest that “metal inverse opals” could be used to cool down electronic devices as well as other thermal management applications. Nanotechweb.org explained that “these materials are metal films that contain a periodic arrangement of interconnected spherical … [Read more...]
New Approach to Simulate Nanoscale Thermoelectric Materials
(April 7th, 2016) A research group led by Joe Feser, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Delaware, has developed a new approach to simulating nanoscale heat transfer in materials, according to Phys.org. More specifically, the research group is “investigating the limits of heat transport using a suite of new tools for nanoscale … [Read more...]
