The extraordinary properties of Graphene are well known, and in the context of electronics thermal management and reliability, it is about 200 times stronger than the strongest steel and conducts heat and electricity very efficiently. Both graphene and carbon nanotubes consist of six-atom rings, which create the well-known hexagonal Honeycomb structure, and both excel at the … [Read more...]
Book Review of Electronics Cooling (2016)
by MP Divakar, PhD, Stack Design Automation Technical Editor, Electronics Cooling Online Electronics cooling engineers and designers are used to one constant in their professional lives: change. Most of it (as far as problem solving is concerned) is change for the worse… and is challenging! The heat flux keeps increasing, the geometries keep shrinking, the available solution … [Read more...]
Ultra-Thin Thermoelectric Cooler Provides Precise Temperature Control for Optical Electronics
Phononic recently announced its pico-TEC series, a high-performance solid-state thermoelectric module (TEM) designed to provide precise temperature control in order to meet the unique thermal management requirements of optoelectronics and fiber optic modules. The pico-TECs are manufactured using advanced automated semiconductor fabrication technology and ultra-thin form factor … [Read more...]
Thermal Conductor Research Project Joined by UH Physicist
(July 21, 2016) University of Houston’s MD Anderson Professor and physicist, Zhifeng Ren, has joined the $7.5 million collaboration to develop a material with a higher conductivity than diamonds. “Earlier research conducted in this field has anticipated the potential of boron arsenide to be a better thermal conductor than diamonds,” said Ren, “David Broido, a Boston College … [Read more...]
Combination of Two Insulators Could Enable More Efficient Heat Management
(July 28, 2016) Recently, “researchers at the University of Utah and the University of Minnesota have discovered that when two oxide compounds—strontium titanate (STO) and neodymium titanate (NTO)—are joined together, they make an extraordinary conductive material that could vastly improve power transistors,” according to Spectrum.IEEE.org. By themselves, each material … [Read more...]
