Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder say a new method of improving thermoelectric materials could lead to the development of better solar panels, more energy-efficient cooling equipment and effective devices that could turn waste heat from power plants into electricity. The technique, which involves constructing an array of nanoscale pillars on top of a sheet of … [Read more...]
Magnetic Refrigeration Could Replace Compressor Systems
Researchers working in GE labs have used special magnetic materials to generate temperatures cold enough to freeze water in a breakthrough that could find its way into commercial refrigerators by the end of the decade. (Video: General Electric). Researchers at General Electric have unveiled a new refrigerant system utilizing special magnetic materials that could be up to 20 … [Read more...]
Researchers Eye Passive Cooling System for Microelectronics
Researchers at San Diego State University in California are examining an alternative to traditional heat pipes they say could help increase cooling efficiency in laptops and other portable electronic devices. Known as pulsating or oscillating heat pipes, the system may offer a heat transfer capacity up to 100 times better than conventional heat pipes, says assistant professor … [Read more...]
Apple Files Patent for Smaller, Quieter Wireless Cooling Fan
A patent application filed by Apple hints at the company’s latest plan to bypass design limitations and shrink their devices even more. While the technology company strives to develop increasingly lighter and thinner products, certain components limit how thin and light the company can make their devices. One such component is the cooling fan, an essential thermal management … [Read more...]
Cooling Fans and Accessories Protect Critical Components
NTE Electronics has released a new line of cooling fans and accessories to protect critical electronic components from premature failure due to heat. Available in five different sizes—40x40mm, 60x60mm, 80x80mm, 92x92mm and 120x120mm—the new AC and DC fans from NTE Electronics utilize a propeller to create a large airflow in the direction of the axis, moving the air in a … [Read more...]
