Laird Technologies has announced a new series of miniature thermoelectric modules for applications where temperature stabilization of sensitive optical components in photonics, telecom, medical and consumer markets is critical. Built using Laird Tlam thermally conductive circuit boards instead of traditional ceramic-based circuit boards, the new TIam OptoTEC series improves the … [Read more...]
Research Could Lead to New Thermal Flow Control Devices
Researchers have proposed a new method of controlling heat flow similar to the way electronic components handle electrical current that could deliver more efficient thermal management in a variety of applications. Developed by scientists at Purdue University, the technology utilizes tiny triangular or T-shaped structures made of graphene nanoribbons to control phonons, quantum … [Read more...]
Carbon Nanotubes Boost Microprocessor Cooling
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy have developed a new technique that combines carbon nanotubes and organic materials to enable more efficient cooling of microprocessor chips. While carbon nanotubes have long been known to offer high thermal conductivity, widespread application in cooling systems has proven difficult because of their high thermal interface … [Read more...]
Tesla to Replace Charging Adapters Following Vehicle Fire
Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla Motors Inc. has announced it will send out replacement wall charger adapters to customers following an investigation into a garage fire involving a Tesla Model S sedan and its wall-mounted charging system last month. Investigators of the Nov. 15 Irvine, Calif. fire said in a report that the Tesla-supplied charging system or the connection at … [Read more...]
New Ultrathin Material May Lead to Better Thermally Conductive Coatings
Scientists at Kansas State University have discovered a new ultrathin electrically conductive material they say may lead to advances in the efficiency of electronic and thermal devices. Vikas Berry, the William H. Honstead professor of chemical engineering, and his colleagues found that manipulating molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)—a three-atom-thick inorganic compound … [Read more...]
