An associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has developed a liquid cooling system he says is safer than water cooling and could cut cooling costs of data centers by up to 90 percent. Data centers are growing at a rate of seven to 10 percent per year in the U.S., and associated cooling costs are on the rise as well, says associate … [Read more...]

Graphene Improves Copper Film Thermal Conductivity
The placement of a single atomic plane of graphene on the surface of a copper film can significantly increase the film’s thermal conductivity, making the hybrid material ideal for more demanding thermal management applications, according to new research from scientists at the University of Manchester, UK and the University of California-Riverside, U.S. The phenomenon was … [Read more...]
Magnetically-Stimulated Flow Patterns Could Boost Heat Transfer
Magnetically-stimulated fluid flow patterns may offer a new method for handling difficult heat transfer problems by overcoming natural convection limits, according to new research from scientists at Sandia National Laboratories. Convection cooling, which refers to the transfer of heat between two places by the movement of fluids, is often forced in many modern cooling systems … [Read more...]
Gummy Electrolyte Could Reduce Battery Fire Hazard
Researchers at Washington State University have developed a new conductive gum-like material that could improve the safety of lithium ion batteries. Used in laptops, smartphones and other electronic devices, lithium ion batteries are capable of storing a large amount of energy compared to other batteries. Their biggest safety risk, however, comes from the electrolyte in the … [Read more...]
