Abstract Extreme conditions in interplanetary environments, like lunar night at -173°C and Martian dust storms, require new thermal control systems that go beyond traditional electronics cooling approaches. Martian dust consists primarily of iron-oxide and silicate particles with diameters ranging from 1 to 3 μm. These particles are electrostatically adhesive, capable of … [Read more...]
Rethinking Thermal Design Priorities in Electronics Packaging
Steady state operating temperature is a critical design parameter for ensuring the reliable operation of modern electronics systems. However, in practice it is but one of many factors that impact overall system health and performance. Modern challenges, like the large transient power draw associated with artificial intelligence (AI) workloads create the potential for more … [Read more...]
IEEE ITherm 2025 Conference Highlights
The IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm) was held at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center, Dallas, TX, May 27 – 30, 2025. This was the 24th ITherm Conference. ITherm Conference series began in 1988 as a companion conference to the broader IEEE Electronic Packaging Society’s (at that time CHMT, later … [Read more...]
Report About the THERMINIC 2024 Workshop
By Andras Poppe and Marta Rencz The 30th THERMINIC (Thermal Investigations of ICs and Systems) workshop was held on 25-27 September 2024 in Toulouse, France at the Mercure Toulouse Centre Compans. Jean-Pierre Fradin (Icam, France) and Patrick Tounsi (INSA Toulouse & LAAS – CNRS) as local organizers and co-program chairs of the 2024 THERMINIC did a great job: Over 110 … [Read more...]
Augmenting Development of Electronics Cooling Technologies with Machine Learning Tools – a Heat Pipe System Example
The traditional pathway for development of thermal management technologies for electronics has been to analyze using heat transfer theory augmented by computational tools such as finite difference or finite element methods, CFD tools, or thermal management system simulation tools, sometimes in tandem with prototype system fabrication and testing. Combining recently available … [Read more...]
