Sandia National Laboratories announced that their Sandia Cooling technology has been licensed by two companies, bringing the Sandia Cooler heat sink much closer to the production phase. According to the company, the redesigned architecture for the air-cooled heat exchanger "simultaneously eliminates all three drawbacks of conventional air-cooled heat exchanger … [Read more...]
Changes in Surface Texture Double Heat Dissipation
Researchers at MIT have found that relatively simple, microscale roughening of a surface can dramatically enhance its transfer of heat by more than doubling the maximum heat dissipation. To test the process, the researchers made a series of postage-stamp-sized silicon wafers with varying degrees of surface roughness. They found that systematically increasing roughness led to a … [Read more...]
Space Exploration and Higher Education Will Both Benefit From New NASA Partnership
NASA Goddard has entered into a collaboration designed to enhance the science, technology, engineering and math capabilities within two Historically Black College and University institutions over the course of a three-year program. Professors and students from Alabama A&M University and Tuskegee University will be building a library of electronic designs for future … [Read more...]
Iron-based HTS show Unexpected Electronic Asymmetry
While investigating iron-based HTS, researchers from Kyoto University and the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute found that its electronic properties were different in the horizontal and vertical directions and provide the strongest evidence yet of electronic nematicity in HTS. The study used the parent compound barium iron arsenide and measured electronic … [Read more...]
Hot-Water Cooled Supercomputer
The first commercially available computer system that is cooled with hot water rather than air was unveiled at the Leibniz Supercomputer Centre in Munich. The IBM iDataplex system removes heat 4,000 times more efficiently than air-cooled systems using a new form of IBM’s hot-water cooling technology. It cools active components in the system such as processors and memory modules … [Read more...]
