Scientists Answer Mystery Regarding How Bi2Te3 and GaAs Are Combined, Opening Door for More Efficient Cooling Technologies
While researchers have long known that thin films of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3)—which converts heat into electricity or electricity into cooling—can be combined on top of a gallium arsenide (GaAs) foundation to create cooling devices for electronics, a team from North Carolina State University (NCSU) and RTI International have answered the question as to how they are combined … [Read more...]
Refrigerator Super-Cools Advanced Sensors Using Quantum Physics
A tiny solid-state refrigerator that employs quantum physics in micro- and nanostructures to cool larger objects to extremely low temperatures has been demonstrated by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). According to the researchers, the device’s cooling power is equivalent to that of a window-mounted air conditioner successfully cooling a … [Read more...]
Nanocrystal Arrays May Provide Energy Efficient, Low Cost Replacement for Single-Crystal Semiconductors
A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Chicago are in the process of exploring how heat is transported in organic-inorganic hybrid materials by examining thermally-related behavior of nanocrystal arrays, in an effort to identify whether they could be an effective, low-cost replacement for single-crystal semiconductors in solar cells, … [Read more...]
