Purdue University is moving its Steele supercomputing cluster to a portable, self-contained, modular computer center. Companies such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft make significant use of quickly deployed, energy-efficient containerized data centers. But Purdue is one of the first universities to do so and to use HP’s “POD” (Performance-optimized Data Center). The … [Read more...]

Ultra-Thin Waterproof Piezoelectric Speaker Murata Electronics North America recently launched an ultra-thin waterproof piezoelectric speaker. With a thickness of only 0.9mm, this 19.5mm x 14.1mm speaker enables greater design freedom for the rapidly growing and evolving mobile market. The speaker achieves IPX7 grade waterproof protection without the need of a waterproof … [Read more...]
what's happening
Melting-While-Cooling Silicon Could Improve Solar Cells Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently discovered that by dissolving certain metals into silicon, they can add that silicon compound to the relatively short list of exotic substances that exhibit retrograde melting. Their accomplishment could ultimately result in less expensive solar … [Read more...]
Thermal Grease Screen Printers
Surface Mount Techniques (SMT) announces stencil/screen printers specifically designed for thermal grease applications. Highly concentrated heat sources found in ever shrinking electronic designs have increased the demand for better heat dissipation. The demand is seen across many industries: power electronics, electric vehicles (EV), ever shrinking handheld devices and … [Read more...]
Carbon Nanotubes Enable Pumpless Liquid Cooling System for Computers
Purdue University researchers, led by Suresh V. Garimella, have developed a new design employing carbon Nanotubes and small copper spheres that wicks water passively towards hot electronics that could meet the challenges brought on by increasing frequency speeds in chips. The researchers came up with a design that uses water as the coolant liquid and transfers the water to an … [Read more...]
