Thermal management has become one of the defining challenges in modern electronics design. Across data centers, AI and machine learning hardware, power electronics, and compact consumer devices, heat generation continues to rise as performance expectations increase. Higher power densities, faster processing speeds, and smaller form factors are placing sustained pressure on … [Read more...]
Spacecraft Thermal Control in Extreme Environments: Surviving Lunar Night and Martian Dust
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...]
