A European spacecraft scheduled for launch towards the sun in 2017 will be shielded from extreme temperatures by a type of paint once used in prehistoric cave art. Carrying instruments to perform high-resolution imaging of the sun, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter will travel as close as 42 million kilometers, or a little more than a quarter of the distance to Earth, … [Read more...]
Apple Files Patent for Smaller, Quieter Wireless Cooling Fan
A patent application filed by Apple hints at the company’s latest plan to bypass design limitations and shrink their devices even more. While the technology company strives to develop increasingly lighter and thinner products, certain components limit how thin and light the company can make their devices. One such component is the cooling fan, an essential thermal management … [Read more...]
Heat Sink Series Provides Modular Cooling Options for Electrical Components
Ohmite Manufacturing, a provider of thermal solutions and resistors, has released its new B60/C60 heat sink system ideal for use with high power density and small size (3U or 4U) electronic packaging with forced convection. The new B60/C60 heat sink system provides designers with a variety of cooling options for up to six TO-246 or TO-264 devices, such as TO-247 and TO-264 … [Read more...]
Mini Thermoelectric Modules Incorporate Thermally Conductive Circuit Boards
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...]
