Finalists were announced last night for the Regional Cleantech Open Business Competition, which highlighted the broad scope of clean technologies and competencies of the Pacific Northwest. Winners included a water purification system, materials for cooling electronics in data centers and an all-electric commuter vehicle. From nanomaterials research at the University of … [Read more...]
Nobel Prize Puts Graphene in Spotlight
Two Russian expatriates working in Britain have been awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics for their discovery of graphene, a two-dimensional layer of carbon molecules whose unexpected properties promise to revolutionize the electronics industry, the production of lightweight materials and a host of other applications. Among potential applications cited by the Swedish Nobel … [Read more...]
Final 787 Test Aircraft Completes Maiden Flight
Despite being cut short by a liquid cooling leak, Boeing’s sixth and final 787 Dreamliner has successfully completed its long-delayed maiden deployment, program sources said. The aircraft, which is the second of two General Electric GEnx-1B-powered 787s, departed Boeing’s Paine Field in Everett, Wash., on Oct. 4 and lasted just over an hour with an aircraft recovery at Boeing … [Read more...]
Reinforced TIM Integrates Nylon Mesh Layer
Fujipoly released Sarcon 100GR-FL, a low resistance, durable thermal interface gap filler pad. The gel-like material is manufactured with an integrated nylon mesh layer that prevents distortion and stretching during die-cut operations. When placed between a heat source such as a high-performance semiconductor and a nearby heat sink, Sarcon 100GR-FL will transfer heat with a … [Read more...]
Making Sure Your Chips Don’t Burn
Researchers at the Tyndall National Institute at University College Cork in Ireland have found a new way of cooling semiconductors in computers, mobiles and games consoles to improve their performance and reduce energy consumption. Most computers have thermal interface materials (TIM) to join the chip with the heat sink, with solder or a thin, film-like sheet. Solder is … [Read more...]
