The biennial ITherm Achievement Award is open for nominations for 2016. The Award is presented in recognition of significant contributions made in thermal and thermomechanical management of electronics, of pioneering and sustaining electronics thermal/thermomechanical research contributions, of service to the electronics thermal/thermo-mechanical management community, and of … [Read more...]
Underwater Data Center Test Proves Successful
Microsoft, who manages more than 100 data centers around the world, has completed testing of a self-contained data center prototype that can operate hundreds of feet below the surface of the ocean. The New York Times reported that the prototype was a “large white steel tube, covered with heat exchangers, with its ends sealed by metal plates and large bolts” and “a single data … [Read more...]
New High-Performance, Conforming TIM
Fujipoly America has just introduced its newest high-performance, low compression force putty-like thermal interface material, Sarcon PG80A. The TIM’s “13 W/m°K gap filler pad gently conforms to most component shapes and uneven surfaces to transfer heat from its source to a nearby heat sink or spreader while exhibiting a thermal resistance as low as 0.08°Cin2/W at 14 PSI,” … [Read more...]
New Lithium-Ion Battery Prevents Itself from Overheating
Researchers at Stanford have designed the first lithium-ion battery that can shut down and restart on its own to prevent overheating. “The battery shuts [itself] down before overheating, then restarts immediately when the temperature cools,” reported Stanford News. The authors of the study used graphene-and-carbon-coated nanoscale spiky nickel particles embedded in a thin … [Read more...]
Electronics Cooling Tech Adapted for Organ Transport by Drones
Four women, with support from the IFFE Business School in Spain, have created an unmanned aerial vehicle, Dronlife, with its own cooling system to transport organs in India. “Dronlife uses Peltier cells, devices used in some portable coolers and to cool electronics,” reported Newsweek, stating temperature control as a main requirement of the drone “since organs must be kept at … [Read more...]
