Scientists at Stanford University have released new findings that demonstrate the benefits of using carbon nanotube arrays at critical junctions between two materials to help better relieve thermal stress. Thermal stress, often caused by the joining of two materials that expand and contract at different rates as temperatures change, can lead to unnecessary strain and … [Read more...]
Bitcoin Mining Boosts Interest in Liquid Cooling
A journalist's recent visit to a secret Hong Kong Bitcoin mining facility reveals some of the newer cooling techniques in use to keep server temperatures from skyrocketing. Introduced in 2009, Bitcoin is an open-source peer-to-peer electronic payment method generated through the process of “mining,” in which computers are awarded bitcoins for finding the solution to specific … [Read more...]
