(July 21, 2016) University of Houston’s MD Anderson Professor and physicist, Zhifeng Ren, has joined the $7.5 million collaboration to develop a material with a higher conductivity than diamonds. “Earlier research conducted in this field has anticipated the potential of boron arsenide to be a better thermal conductor than diamonds,” said Ren, “David Broido, a Boston College … [Read more...]
Electric Cars Will Not Meet the Same Fate as HoverBoards’ Overheated Batteries
(July 11, 2016) Where electric cars and hoverboards both use lithium-ion cells, electric cars will have a more diligent manufacturing process and thus more heat control. According to blog CarAndDriver.com, “Automotive-grade cells are very, very different [from the cheaply made hoverboards’]: meticulously manufactured, precisely temperature-controlled lithium-ion and … [Read more...]
Research Underway for Heat Conductor Substitutes for Diamond
(July 5, 2016) Thanks to a research grant awarded from the Office of Naval Research for pursuing “high risk-high reward” scientific and technological breakthroughs, six universities are working to develop cost-effective and high-quality substitutes for diamond as a heat conductor. Diamond was recently discovered to be the best available heat conductor, however it is too rare … [Read more...]
Liquid Cooled Data Center with More Power and No Leakage
(June 29, 2016) Recently, eBay, Dell, and Intel claimed to have made “major strides in channeling the potential of liquid cooling” to enable greater processing power without excessive consumption “that could have implications for the hyperscale and web services market”, according to EnterpriseTech.com eBay, the world’s largest online marketplace, which handles more than 1 … [Read more...]
How to Choose the Right Solution for Effective Heat Management
(June 3, 2016) Because electronics have shrunk significantly in recent years, the solutions to cool them must be adjusted. Electropages.com suggests “a case-specific analysis must be performed as each application is subject to different circumstances,” to determine the right strategy for cooling electronics. This analysis is called “CFD analysis,” or computational fluid … [Read more...]
