As far as history goes, the field of electronics cooling does not have a very long past. A rather quick look through my personal reference material that is strictly geared towards cooling electronics had at the earliest some US Navy documents from the 1950s [1]. Comparing the solution techniques available today to those available then shows that we have both much better tools … [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...]
Solar-Powered Lasers Use Heat Sink for Cooling
A researcher in Uzbekistan has proposed a plan for solar-powered lasers using small parabolic mirrors about 3 feet in diameter, combined with new two-layer ceramic disks to produce laser light. When sunlight hits the ceramic material, it excites the electrons and causes them to emit laser light of a specific wavelength. To control the heat, the ceramic disk would be mounted … [Read more...]
Optimal Thermal Management Performance Solution
Newark has established an exclusive stocking agreement for Wakefield Solutions’ new LED heat sink extrusions. Wakefield and Bridgelux engineering teams worked together at Newark’s behest to design an optimal heat sink extrusion line which is compatible with all Bridgelux LEDs. Wakefield’s new heat sink extrusions save engineers the considerable time it can take to match the … [Read more...]
