VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd has recently developed a technology that can be utilized in smart fabrics and clothing to cool or warm the wearer according to his or her needs as part of their Smart Clothing project. This new technology essentially determines the wearer’s body temperature, and automatically adjusts accordingly so “the thermal sensation of the … [Read more...]
Diamonds May Take Silicon’s Place in Future Smartphones
A startup called Akhan Semi suggests lab-grown diamonds can cool electronics more efficiently than silicon. Silicon costs a lot to keep cool, but lab-grown diamonds could eliminate cooling fans and heat sinks since they already eliminate 90% of the energy lost by silicon, according to Adam Khan, founder and CEO of Akhan Semi, the diamond-making startup. “Because a … [Read more...]
New Particle Creates Less Heat, Saves Energy
Researchers have discovered a new particle that doesn’t consume a lot of energy, and thus doesn’t require an elaborate cooling system. It is called the Weyl fermion, a particle that only exists inside materials and “moves through materials practically without resistance,” according to Nanowerk.com. In contrast to today’s computer chips relying on “electrons which are always … [Read more...]
Study Shows LED Lighting Helps Grow Edible Plants for Space Missions
The University of Arizona Controlled Environment Agriculture Center (CEAC) and Phillips Lighting have conducted a recent study to find that placing LED lighting in a lunar greenhouse prototype increases the amount of high-quality, edible lettuce produced. The study was conducted in a nine week period, according to EETimes Europe, where they replaced water-cooled high-pressure … [Read more...]
