(May 24, 2016) Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have recently introduced a new method for doping to bring diamonds a step further as semiconductors. Doping is a “process in which other elements are integrated into the semiconductor to change its properties,” explained Phys.org, and “because of diamond's rigid crystalline structure, doping is difficult.” But … [Read more...]
Graphene Nanoflakes Better Dissipates Electronics’ Heat
(April 29, 2016) Recently, a team of researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a more efficient approach to cooling electronics using graphene nanoflake-based film. According to E&T, the team performed “experiments in which they managed to increase the efficiency of heat transfer by 76 per cent” – the kind of results that suggest … [Read more...]
Metal Inverse Opals Could Better Cool Electronics
(April 7th, 2016) New work by researchers at Stanford University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, suggest that “metal inverse opals” could be used to cool down electronic devices as well as other thermal management applications. Nanotechweb.org explained that “these materials are metal films that contain a periodic arrangement of interconnected spherical … [Read more...]
New Approach to Simulate Nanoscale Thermoelectric Materials
(April 7th, 2016) A research group led by Joe Feser, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Delaware, has developed a new approach to simulating nanoscale heat transfer in materials, according to Phys.org. More specifically, the research group is “investigating the limits of heat transport using a suite of new tools for nanoscale … [Read more...]
Small EHD Pump Solution May Cool Space Hardware
(April 13th, 2016) Michal Talmor, a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical engineering at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Massachusetts, is focused on bringing electrohydrodynamic (EHD)-based thermal control to space exploration devices. Now in the second year of her NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship (NSTRF), according to I-Connect007.com, “Talmor’s … [Read more...]
