Oregon State University engineers have recently discovered a new way to make advanced electronics more efficient by inducing and controlling boiling bubble formations. According to ScienceDaily.com, “The new approach is based on the use of piezoelectric inkjet printing to create hydrophobic polymer "dots" on a substrate, and then deposit a hydrophilic zinc oxide nanostructure … [Read more...]
Liquid Cooling Used in New Off-Grid Power Generator and Water Purifier
(April 7, 2016) Watly has recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise the final needed funds for the release of its water sanitizing and electricity generating computer powered entirely by solar energy. The Watly 3.0 “combines photovoltaic and thermal solar technology to sanitize 5,000 liters of water a day,” while also “generating off-grid electricity that powers its … [Read more...]
Software Update Leads to Device Failure by Overheating
(April 29, 2016) The new Nextfit Robin, an Android-based smartphone, experienced a major cooling malfunction after a recent software update which resulted in the phones overheating. The device normally heats up a bit when performing everyday tasks, and the update was supposed to improve its cooling process, but when users downloaded it and restarted their devices, they “failed … [Read more...]
Graphene Nanoflakes Better Dissipates Electronics’ Heat
(April 29, 2016) Recently, a team of researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a more efficient approach to cooling electronics using graphene nanoflake-based film. According to E&T, the team performed “experiments in which they managed to increase the efficiency of heat transfer by 76 per cent” – the kind of results that suggest … [Read more...]
BIG Thermal Test for the JWST Test Model
(April 22nd, 2016) The James Webb Space Telescope had an “observatory core” test model twin of itself constructed for the biggest thermal test Goddard mechanical integration technician, Chris Matthews, has ever had. Matthews’ team of technicians put together the model, according to Phys.org, which will “stand in for the real thing in an upcoming test at NASA's Goddard Space … [Read more...]
