Apple Explores Use of Mechanical Fans in Portable Devices
A patent filed recently by Apple revealed that the electronics company is exploring the use of mechanical fans in portable devices. Though current models of Apple’s iPhone and iPad utilize air cooling to maintain a certain internal temperature, the amount of heat generated by increasingly powerful CPUs may soon dictate the need for internal fans. The patent, titled “Cooling … [Read more...]
Research Suggests Ferroelectric Crystals May Assist with Computer Chip Heat Regulation
Researchers at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C. have discovered a new, efficient way to extract heat using ferroelectric crystals. The crystal materials exhibit an electrical polarization in the absence of an electrical field that can be reversed by applying an external electrical field, resulting in a significant temperature change. Ronald Cohen, staff scientist … [Read more...]
