Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have discovered a new method for laser cooling semiconductor membranes. Semiconductors are vital components in solar cells, LEDs and many other electronics, and the efficient cooling of components is important for future quantum computers and ultrasensitive sensors. Using lasers, researchers cooled membrane fluctuations to minus 269 … [Read more...]
Graphene as a Thermal Conductor
A joint U.S.-Chinese research team has demonstrated that the thermal properties of isotopically engineered graphene are superior to those of natural graphene. The demonstration could potentially strengthen the possibility of using graphene to manage heat dissipation. “The important finding is the possibility of a strong enhancement of thermal conduction properties of … [Read more...]

Wireless Shortcut to Avoid Data Center Traffic Jams
To better handle data center congestion, researchers are testing a shortcut that doesn’t involve costly rewiring. They are experimenting with wireless links, mounted atop the server racks, to supply extra bandwidth for moving data along at crunch times. The Microsoft team forged ahead with the project, building and testing a system with tiny directional antennas at the top of … [Read more...]
New Graphene Material Conducts Heat Faster than Silicon
A new graphene material capable of conducting heat 20 times faster than silicon could make the next generation of electronic devices quieter and longer-lasting. The experimental graphene made by U.S. and Chinese researchers has also proven 60 percent more effective at transferring heat than typical graphene — a carbon sheet just one atom thick. Efficient heat removal would … [Read more...]
