Researchers have developed a new thermoelectric generator that could replace batteries as a more versatile power source. As interest grows in wearable electronics like Google Glass, smartwatches and fitness trackers, finding a suitable, long-lasting reliable power supply for these devices becomes an increasingly important concern for designers. Now, a team of researchers from … [Read more...]
Microchips Tolerate Extreme Temperatures in Industrial Applications
German scientists have successfully fabricated compact microchips able to tolerate temperatures up to 300°C in an achievement that could have significant implications for the geothermal and oil production industries. Drill bits and borehole probes employed in the geothermal industry are fitted with a range of sensors and control mechanisms in order to record and analyze … [Read more...]
Polymer-Based Thermal Interface Material Cools Devices at 200°C
Scientists have developed a new polymer-based thermal interface material (TIM) capable of conducing heat 20 times better than conventional polymer. Reliable in temperatures of up to 200°C, the modified material can be fabricated on heat sinks and heat spreaders and adheres well to components in servers, LEDs and mobile devices. “Thermal management schemes can get more … [Read more...]
