Rogers has announced that they can add data matrix codes (DMCs) to a wide range of metalized substrates, including direct-bonded-copper and active-metal-brazed substrates. The codes can be “text or numeric in form and encoded by code-reading camera systems” and “are written on metalized surfaces by means of a thin oxide layer formed by an optical laser system,” said the … [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...]
Potential Electronics Cooling Application of Carbon Nanotubes
(April 21st, 2016) A technique has been found that could allow carbon nanotubes to be used in electronic cooling and as devices in microchips, sensors and circuits in the future. Phys.org reported that the technique “uses a laser and electrical current to precisely position and align carbon nanotubes” to make it a “potential new tool for creating electronic devices out of the … [Read more...]
Small EHD Pump Solution May Cool Space Hardware
(April 13th, 2016) Michal Talmor, a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical engineering at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Massachusetts, is focused on bringing electrohydrodynamic (EHD)-based thermal control to space exploration devices. Now in the second year of her NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship (NSTRF), according to I-Connect007.com, “Talmor’s … [Read more...]
