The placement of a single atomic plane of graphene on the surface of a copper film can significantly increase the film’s thermal conductivity, making the hybrid material ideal for more demanding thermal management applications, according to new research from scientists at the University of Manchester, UK and the University of California-Riverside, U.S. The phenomenon was … [Read more...]
Magnetically-Stimulated Flow Patterns Could Boost Heat Transfer
Magnetically-stimulated fluid flow patterns may offer a new method for handling difficult heat transfer problems by overcoming natural convection limits, according to new research from scientists at Sandia National Laboratories. Convection cooling, which refers to the transfer of heat between two places by the movement of fluids, is often forced in many modern cooling systems … [Read more...]
Gummy Electrolyte Could Reduce Battery Fire Hazard
Researchers at Washington State University have developed a new conductive gum-like material that could improve the safety of lithium ion batteries. Used in laptops, smartphones and other electronic devices, lithium ion batteries are capable of storing a large amount of energy compared to other batteries. Their biggest safety risk, however, comes from the electrolyte in the … [Read more...]
Nanoscale Pillars May Improve Thermoelectric Materials
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder say a new method of improving thermoelectric materials could lead to the development of better solar panels, more energy-efficient cooling equipment and effective devices that could turn waste heat from power plants into electricity. The technique, which involves constructing an array of nanoscale pillars on top of a sheet of … [Read more...]
