Melting-While-Cooling Silicon Could Improve Solar Cells Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently discovered that by dissolving certain metals into silicon, they can add that silicon compound to the relatively short list of exotic substances that exhibit retrograde melting. Their accomplishment could ultimately result in less expensive solar … [Read more...]
Thermal Grease Screen Printers
Surface Mount Techniques (SMT) announces stencil/screen printers specifically designed for thermal grease applications. Highly concentrated heat sources found in ever shrinking electronic designs have increased the demand for better heat dissipation. The demand is seen across many industries: power electronics, electric vehicles (EV), ever shrinking handheld devices and … [Read more...]
Carbon Nanotubes Enable Pumpless Liquid Cooling System for Computers
Purdue University researchers, led by Suresh V. Garimella, have developed a new design employing carbon Nanotubes and small copper spheres that wicks water passively towards hot electronics that could meet the challenges brought on by increasing frequency speeds in chips. The researchers came up with a design that uses water as the coolant liquid and transfers the water to an … [Read more...]
Six Cool Innovations for the Data Center
Computing industry veteran John Brandon explains six new products and technologies that promise to solve real data centre problems or are already working to make enterprise operations run more smoothly. They include fiber optics with a twist, submerged liquid cooling and horizontal racks; several broadband lines combined into one; multiple data centers more easily connected; … [Read more...]
Heat Sinks Contribute to Cool Silence
Silent-cooled graphics cards are becoming increasingly prevalent as PC hardware is becoming increasingly efficient. In silent cooling, a heat sink is installed in a model that engineers determine can remain safely cool without a fan. The heat sink pulls heat build up away from the graphics processor on the card, but since there are no moving parts involved in this cooling … [Read more...]
