(April 7th, 2016) New work by researchers at Stanford University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, suggest that “metal inverse opals” could be used to cool down electronic devices as well as other thermal management applications. Nanotechweb.org explained that “these materials are metal films that contain a periodic arrangement of interconnected spherical … [Read more...]
New Market Entry of Sealed Enclosure Coolers
As their “first step” into the sealed enclosure cooling market, Advanced Cooling Technologies (ACT) has recently launched its HSC, HPC and LNC series of sealed enclosure cooler products. ACT said this about each of their new products: “ACT’s HSC series of coolers are based on a patent pending design that utilizes the air impingement technology that is thermally efficient and … [Read more...]
Electrocaloric Polymers That Create On-Demand Cooling
A team of researchers from Pennsylvania State University have recently developed a blend of ferroelectric polymers that could cool chips and small scale systems on demand. According to NewElectronics these are called electrocaloric materials, and typically an external field is required for them to operate correctly, but the “latest polymer blend can hold absorbed heat even … [Read more...]
Overheating Causes 911 System Failure
Due to a problem with the computer cooling system, 911 service was down for about four hours recently in Buffalo, New York’s Erie County. According to Time Warner Cable News, the room at the Public Safety Campus that houses the 911 Dispatch overheated last Wednesday, and the county isn’t sure why the backup systems failed, but they are “working with partner companies to find … [Read more...]
Smart Clothing That Automatically Cools Itself
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd has recently developed a technology that can be utilized in smart fabrics and clothing to cool or warm the wearer according to his or her needs as part of their Smart Clothing project. This new technology essentially determines the wearer’s body temperature, and automatically adjusts accordingly so “the thermal sensation of the … [Read more...]
