William Maltz, Darryl Moore, and Arun Raghupathy 1. Introduction With peak loads often in the order of minutes and ergonomic considerations limiting surface temperatures and acoustical noise, handheld devices, such as smart phones or tablets, are excellent candidates for use of phase change materials (PCMs). Processor loads in handheld products are highly variable. There … [Read more...]
Research Underway for Heat Conductor Substitutes for Diamond
(July 5, 2016) Thanks to a research grant awarded from the Office of Naval Research for pursuing “high risk-high reward” scientific and technological breakthroughs, six universities are working to develop cost-effective and high-quality substitutes for diamond as a heat conductor. Diamond was recently discovered to be the best available heat conductor, however it is too rare … [Read more...]
New Type of Graphene Could Increase Processor Clock Speeds
(May 19, 2016) Recently, scientists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), the Institute of Physics and Technology RAS, and Tohoku University (Japan), have developed a new type of graphene-based transistor, whose modeling demonstrates that it has ultralow power consumption compared with other similar transistor devices. The newly proposed design was for a … [Read more...]
Thin “Super-Flow Micro” Fan Offers 0.60cfm
JARO has recently released their newest Micro-Fan available with 0.60cfm. The fan measures 17x17x4 mm (at 15,000rpm), and offers a static pressure of 2.413 mm H2O, according to JARO. With operating voltages from 2.8 to 3.5Vdc, the life expectancy is 50,000 hours. It is ideal for space-limited applications, including UAVs (Unmanned-Aerial-Vehicles), pocket projectors, PDA, … [Read more...]
Self-Healable Electronic Material That Can Help Prevent Overheating
(May 16, 2016) A new, more durable electronic material has recently been created to repair itself and heal all its functionality even after breaking several times. Phys.org detailed, “Self-healable materials are those that, after withstanding physical deformation such as being cut in half, naturally repair themselves with little to no external influence.” “Researchers have … [Read more...]
