An ultra-durable, remote-operated mini-tank originally created to neutralize improvised explosive devices in combat zones for the U.S. Army has been re-imagined as a firefighting robot. Created by defense contractor Howe and Howe Technologies, Thermite is designed for fire suppression in areas that are deemed too dangerous for humans. The mini-tank is equipped with HD video … [Read more...]
Theory on Quantum Cascade Lasers May Remove Necessity of Cooling Methods
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck in Austria have proposed a theory that the heating effect in quantum cascade lasers—semiconductor-based devices that emit infrared radiation—could be reversed through a modification of the thickness of semiconductor layers. The new theory may assist with the development of an internal cooling mechanism for certain types of lasers and … [Read more...]
Apple Explores Use of Mechanical Fans in Portable Devices
A patent filed recently by Apple revealed that the electronics company is exploring the use of mechanical fans in portable devices. Though current models of Apple’s iPhone and iPad utilize air cooling to maintain a certain internal temperature, the amount of heat generated by increasingly powerful CPUs may soon dictate the need for internal fans. The patent, titled “Cooling … [Read more...]
Research Suggests Ferroelectric Crystals May Assist with Computer Chip Heat Regulation
Researchers at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C. have discovered a new, efficient way to extract heat using ferroelectric crystals. The crystal materials exhibit an electrical polarization in the absence of an electrical field that can be reversed by applying an external electrical field, resulting in a significant temperature change. Ronald Cohen, staff scientist … [Read more...]
