A startup called Akhan Semi suggests lab-grown diamonds can cool electronics more efficiently than silicon. Silicon costs a lot to keep cool, but lab-grown diamonds could eliminate cooling fans and heat sinks since they already eliminate 90% of the energy lost by silicon, according to Adam Khan, founder and CEO of Akhan Semi, the diamond-making startup. “Because a … [Read more...]
New Particle Creates Less Heat, Saves Energy
Researchers have discovered a new particle that doesn’t consume a lot of energy, and thus doesn’t require an elaborate cooling system. It is called the Weyl fermion, a particle that only exists inside materials and “moves through materials practically without resistance,” according to Nanowerk.com. In contrast to today’s computer chips relying on “electrons which are always … [Read more...]
Study Shows LED Lighting Helps Grow Edible Plants for Space Missions
The University of Arizona Controlled Environment Agriculture Center (CEAC) and Phillips Lighting have conducted a recent study to find that placing LED lighting in a lunar greenhouse prototype increases the amount of high-quality, edible lettuce produced. The study was conducted in a nine week period, according to EETimes Europe, where they replaced water-cooled high-pressure … [Read more...]
New TIMs That Offer High Thermal Conductivity
Chomerics Europe, a division of Parker Hannifin, has recently revealed a new thermal interface material with high thermal conductivity and very low deflection force designed for effective heat dissipation in telecommunication, IT, and automotive applications, THERM-A-GAPTPS60. “THERM-A-GAP TPS60 comprises a soft (Shore 00-35) silicone matrix filled with thermally conductive … [Read more...]
New Refrigerant-Based Rack and Row Cooling Solution for IT Equipment
Rittal Corporation has recently introduced a new refrigerant-based rack and row cooling solution, LCP DX, for heat removal of critical IT components. The Rittal Rack LCP DX “puts the cooling only where needed to protect valuable IT equipment while minimizing energy costs” and “includes air-flow optimized enclosures with includes baffles and blanking panels,” said the … [Read more...]
