Scientists at Stanford University have released new findings that demonstrate the benefits of using carbon nanotube arrays at critical junctions between two materials to help better relieve thermal stress. Thermal stress, often caused by the joining of two materials that expand and contract at different rates as temperatures change, can lead to unnecessary strain and … [Read more...]
Bitcoin Mining Boosts Interest in Liquid Cooling
A journalist's recent visit to a secret Hong Kong Bitcoin mining facility reveals some of the newer cooling techniques in use to keep server temperatures from skyrocketing. Introduced in 2009, Bitcoin is an open-source peer-to-peer electronic payment method generated through the process of “mining,” in which computers are awarded bitcoins for finding the solution to specific … [Read more...]

Boron Nitride Filler for Thermally Conductive Dielectric Plastic Compounds
Saint-Gobain Ceramic Materials has released its new CarboTherm boron nitride thermal management fillers for use in thermally conductive, dielectric plastic compounds. The new boron nitride fillers will be on display December 10-11 at the Compounding World Forum 2013 in Philadelphia, Penn., USA. “Boron nitride, unlike other ceramics, is soft and non-abrading, enabling longer … [Read more...]
Thermal Facts & Fairy Tales: How Useful Are Heat Sink Correlations for Design Purposes?
Clemens J.M. Lasance Guest Editor, Philips Research Emeritus, Consultant at SomelikeitCool I assume everybody agrees with the fact that it is pointless to devote precious space in this magazine to highlight again all problems related to thermal management of electronic products and systems, so let’s start right away. An important way of reducing the temperature in an optimal … [Read more...]
