An international team comprised of researchers at MIT and in Australia has discovered a way to enhance heat transfer using magnetic fields, a method they say could prevent hotspots that can lead to system failures. The new system, which relies on tiny particles of magnetite, a form of iron oxide, is the result of several years of research on nanofluids—nanoparticles dissolved … [Read more...]
Heat Sink Watch Helps Wearer Manage Body Temperature
Four engineering students at MIT have developed a thermoelectric bracelet designed to help wearers maintain a comfortable body temperature. Resembling a wristwatch, the invention, known as Wristify, monitors air and skin temperature and sends pulses of hot or cold waveforms to the wrist when needed to help the wearer maintain thermal comfort. A custom copper-alloy-based heat … [Read more...]
Defense Contractors to Develop Next-Gen Military Electronics Thermal Management
U.S. Air Force officials have awarded multimillion dollar contracts to BAE Systems and Boeing Co. as part of DARPA’s Intrachip/Interchip Enhanced Cooling Applications (ICECool Applications) program. The ICECool program seeks to develop advanced electronics cooling techniques for high-performance embedded computer (HPEC) and RF monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) … [Read more...]
New Surfaces Ease Dissipation of Extreme Heat
A new method of cooling extremely hot surfaces more effectively from researchers at MIT could benefit industrial equipment and electronic devices. Considered by many to be a quieter, more efficient way of removing heat compared to traditional air cooling methods, liquid cooling is commonly used in a number of applications such as internal combustion engines in vehicles and … [Read more...]
Waterproof Tablet Computer Features Cooling Fan
Electronics manufacturer Fujitsu has released a unique new tablet computer capable of operating underwater while using a cooling fan to pump heat away from sensitive internal circuitry. The Arrows Tab QH77/M is 2-in-1 computer that can be used both as a clamshell notebook computer and as a tablet computer when the display unit is detached. The casing houses an Intel Core … [Read more...]
