Fujitsu Laboratories Limited has developed cooling technology that employs waste heat generated by CPUs to produce chilled water that can be used to cool server rooms. Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a technology that can chill water from relatively low-temperature sources that have not been usable in the past. At 55°C, water produced from water-cooled type CPUs is of a … [Read more...]
First Solar Array Designed For High-Voltage Data Centers and Industrial Use
IBM is rolling out the first solar-power array designed specifically to run high-voltage data centers, integrating AC- and DC-based servers, water-cooled computing systems and related electronics. The new array is spread over more than 6,000 square-feet of rooftop covering IBM’s India Software Lab in Bangalore. The solar array is capable of providing a 50-kilowatt supply of … [Read more...]
New Superconductor Fibers Carry 40 Times More Electricity
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed superconducting wires using fibers made of single crystals of sapphire to be used in high powered cables. Factoring in temperature requirements, each tiny wire can carry approximately 40 times more electricity than a copper wire of the same size. They have the potential to revolutionize energy transfer. High power … [Read more...]
Bristly Particles Could Manage Heat Flow in Electronics
A well-known method of making heat sinks for electronic devices is a process called sintering, in which powdered metal is formed into a desired shape and then heated in a vacuum to bind the particles together. In a recent experiment, students at MIT led by Kripa Varanasi, d’Arbeloff Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, tried sintering copper particles in air and … [Read more...]
LED Driver IC Market Buoyed by Growth in Backlights
A new report from Strategies Unlimited finds that the market for LED driver ICs is sizeable at $2 billion in 2010, buoyed by strong growth in LED backlights in mobile phones, TVs, and monitors. Innovations promise to help meet aggressive price and performance targets necessary to expand further the market for LED lighting, particularly in replacement bulbs. These innovations … [Read more...]
