(June 12, 2016) Researchers and scientists at the University of California-Berkeley have found that layered, crystalline black phosphorus could “lead to a new microchip design that lets heat flow away and keeps electrons moving,” said Phys.org. They have measured the anisotropic thermal properties in black phosphorus nanoribbons, and Phys.org reported, “In their research, the … [Read more...]
Controlling the Heating and Cooling in Graphene
(May 17, 2016) “Researchers from University of Groningen and the University of Manchester have now, for the first time, directly detected the Peltier effect in graphene that is either one or two atoms thick [and] showed that the effect can be switched from heating to cooling by tuning the type and density of the charge carriers inside the material,” reported Nanowerk.com. The … [Read more...]
Microfluidic Cooling Could Be Answer to Heat Buildup in Microchips
(June 4, 2016) DARPA is seeking out solutions for the massive problem of heat buildup in microchips. They think they found it in microfluidic cooling. They’ve initiated a program called ICECool Applications (Intra/Interchip Enhanced Cooling), according to TechRepublic.com, which is “exploring disruptive thermal technologies that will mitigate thermal limitations on the … [Read more...]
How to Choose the Right Solution for Effective Heat Management
(June 3, 2016) Because electronics have shrunk significantly in recent years, the solutions to cool them must be adjusted. Electropages.com suggests “a case-specific analysis must be performed as each application is subject to different circumstances,” to determine the right strategy for cooling electronics. This analysis is called “CFD analysis,” or computational fluid … [Read more...]
Laser Storage in Data Centers Could Mean Less Heating
(June 3, 2016) Davide Bossini from the University of Tokyo has found a possible solution to control the demand for smaller, faster, devices to store, manage, and process data in data centers without compromising cooling. “A way to store information in a particularly tiny area is by taking advantage of the fact that individual electrons possess magnetization, which is called … [Read more...]
