New Particle Creates Less Heat, Saves Energy

 

Researchers have discovered a new particle that doesn’t consume a lot of energy, and thus doesn’t require an elaborate cooling system. It is called the Weyl fermion, a particle that only exists inside materials and “moves through materials practically without resistance,” according to Nanowerk.com. In contrast to today’s computer chips relying on “electrons which are always … [Read more...]

Cooling High-Powered Electronics with Tiny Drops of Water

 

Lockheed Martin and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) want to cool high-powered microchips with microscopic drops of water. “A core team of Lockheed Martin engineers is working on a solution to meet the goal of DARPA’s Inter/Intra Chip Enhanced Cooling (ICECool) program: to enhance the performance of RF MMIC power … [Read more...]

NSA Finally Has a Plan for Their Superconducting Supercomputer

 

The U.S. government has its eyes on “cryogenically cooled circuitry for tomorrow's exascale computers,” reported Spectrum.IEEE.org, a dream over 50 years old. An electrical engineer of the NSA, Dudley Buck, “reported on his own work” in the 1950’s about a “novel superconducting switch he named the cryotron,” according to Spectrum IEEE, and said that “the device works by … [Read more...]

New 2D Semiconductor Performs Better Than Silicon

 

A team of engineers from the University of Utah have discovered a new 2D semiconducting material that could outperform silicon, making electronics cooler and more efficient. “The semiconductor, made of the elements tin and oxygen, or tin monoxide (SnO), is a layer of 2D material only one atom thick, allowing electrical charges to move through it much faster than conventional … [Read more...]
