A*STAR researchers have developed a viable energy storing solution for supercapacitors by combining metal nitride electrodes with thin sheets of graphene. According to Phys.org, Hui Huang from A*STAR's Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology and his colleagues from Nanyang Technological University and Jinan University, China, call it an “asymmetric” supercapacitor, … [Read more...]
Researchers Use Infrared Laser to Refrigerate Liquids
Recently, the University of Washington research team has successfully used an infrared laser to cool water. According to Phys.org, the process uses a microscopic crystal suspended in water and an infrared laser light, to cool the water to about 36 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat from the infrared laser excites a kind of glow from the crystal that has “slightly more energy than … [Read more...]
New Soft TIM with Low Thermal Resistance
Fujipoly recently introduced the Sarcon® GR80A, which is a soft thermal interface material that also has a low thermal resistance. According to the company, the thermal interface material is available in sheets from 0.3mm to 3.0mm thick and can be die-cut to fit almost any application shape. “When placed between a heat source such as a semiconductor and a nearby heat sink, … [Read more...]
High Temperature Resistant, Thermal Conductive System Meets ASTM E595 Specifications
Master Bond’s MasterSil 972TC-LO, a high temperature resistant, thermally conductive system, now meets the requirements for low outgassing per ASTM E595 specifications. “MasterSil 972TC-LO is an insulator that has a thermal conductivity of 7-9 BTU•in/ft²•hr•°F [1.01-1.30 W/(m•K)]. It bonds well to a wide variety of substrates, including metals, composites, glass, ceramics, … [Read more...]
Graphene Can Now Be Applied to Thermal Imaging Devices
Researchers from MIT have built a chip out of graphene that could be applied to thermal imaging devices. “Graphene is one of the best-known infrared sensing materials, so the team built a microscopic sensor chip out of the material,” Engadget reported. “Further graphene was then used to carry the signals and suspend the chip over an air pocket. That eliminated the need for … [Read more...]
