Researchers have proposed a new method of controlling heat flow similar to the way electronic components handle electrical current that could deliver more efficient thermal management in a variety of applications. Developed by scientists at Purdue University, the technology utilizes tiny triangular or T-shaped structures made of graphene nanoribbons to control phonons, quantum … [Read more...]
Carbon Nanotubes Boost Microprocessor Cooling
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy have developed a new technique that combines carbon nanotubes and organic materials to enable more efficient cooling of microprocessor chips. While carbon nanotubes have long been known to offer high thermal conductivity, widespread application in cooling systems has proven difficult because of their high thermal interface … [Read more...]
PCMA Thermal Interface for Intel Core LGA-115x Processors
Liquid cooling product manufacturer EK Water Blocks has released EK-TIM Indigo XS, a thermal interface material for Intel Core LGA-115x processors. Unlike greases, metallic thermal interface pads or liquid metal alloys, Indigo XS is a self-contained and sealed structure, deploying a phase-change metallic alloy (PCMA) which reflows and fills surface asperities on the CPU lid … [Read more...]
Heating Up Nanodevices May Keep Electronics Cool
As electronic devices have grown smaller and more powerful, new thermal management methods have been created to help prevent them from overheating; however, researchers and engineers are in a constant race to come up with new methods to adequately manage the increasing amount of heat being generated by shrinking next-generation devices. Now, scientists at University of … [Read more...]
New Ultrathin Material May Lead to Better Thermally Conductive Coatings
Scientists at Kansas State University have discovered a new ultrathin electrically conductive material they say may lead to advances in the efficiency of electronic and thermal devices. Vikas Berry, the William H. Honstead professor of chemical engineering, and his colleagues found that manipulating molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)—a three-atom-thick inorganic compound … [Read more...]
