A team of researchers at the University of Cambridge, along with the Cambridge-based company Novalia, have produced new graphene-based inks which could lead to high-speed manufacturing of printed electronics. The method involves adding graphene and electrically conducting materials to water-based inks for printing. This is the first time graphene has been used for large-scale … [Read more...]
New Material Boosts Efficiency of Solar Cells and Improves Cooling
Researchers from Stanford University have successfully improved the efficiency of solar cells and solar panels. They have developed a transparent overlay material, a patterned silica material on top of a normal solar cell, which increases solar cell efficiency by cooling cells in full sunlight. The material works by radiating heat away from the solar cells, according to … [Read more...]
Company CEO Asks “Is Free Cooling Really Free?” At Conference
CEO of LiquidCooling Solutions, Inc., Herb Zien, is serving on a panel until Thursday, Sept. 24, at the North America’s Emerging Green Conference in Portland, Oregon. On Wednesday Sept. 23, from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m., Zien will give a presentation that challenges the legitimacy of Free Cooling. Zien will explain inefficiencies and environmental waste associated with free cooling via … [Read more...]
Thermal Invisibility Cloak Improves Heat Distribution in Electronics
A team of researchers from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore has developed a thermal invisibility cloak that would improve heat distribution in electronic devices by redirecting incoming heat. The cloaks are capable of guiding heat around a hidden object, thus resulting in complete thermal invisibility. “Based on carefully engineered metamaterials – … [Read more...]
University Produces Smart Compliers to Assist Research During ‘Dark Silicon’ Era
Researchers from Lancaster University believe a ‘dark silicon’ era is rapidly approaching. This era suggests more than 80 percent of computer processors’ transistors will be turned off and ‘remain dark’ in order to prevent the chips from overheating. “Hardware design is rapidly evolving to prevent this need to 'power down' transistors and coming up with innovative solutions. … [Read more...]
