A CCNY team led by physics professors Carlos Meriles and Elisa Riedo recently reported on a platform for nanoscale thermal measurements based on magnetic resonance, and optical and atomic force microscopy. “Their paper, ‘Imaging thermal conductivity with nanoscale resolution using a scanning spin probe,’ is based on a simple notion: that a hot probe in contact with a thermally … [Read more...]
Extreme-Temperature Probing Solutions Offered
Keysight Technologies recently introduced the N7007A extreme-temperature 400-MHz passive probe and the N7013A extreme-temperature extension kit for medium- and high-voltage differential active probes. According to the company, the extreme-temperature probing solutions offer bandwidths up to 400 MHz, and can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 degrees to +85 degrees … [Read more...]
Graphene Can Now Be Applied to Thermal Imaging Devices
Researchers from MIT have built a chip out of graphene that could be applied to thermal imaging devices. “Graphene is one of the best-known infrared sensing materials, so the team built a microscopic sensor chip out of the material,” Engadget reported. “Further graphene was then used to carry the signals and suspend the chip over an air pocket. That eliminated the need for … [Read more...]
Compact PC with Liquid Cooling System
Simon Laine, a Swedish PC modder, recently built a PC with a liquid cooling system. According to Forbes, the PC known as “Luna” has an Intel Core i7-4770R, which has Iris Pro 5200 graphics. For the liquid cooling system, the PC uses a miniature pump called the DCLT 2400. “This minuscule pump is about the same size as a small box of matches, yet it’s a fully-fledged unit with … [Read more...]
Microfluidic Channels Deliver Power and Cooling in Computational Hardware
IBM’s fluid research labs are currently testing “5D electronic blood” to deliver power and cooling in computational hardware. “Using IBM’s developed microfluidic channels on a sample chip, it is able to funnel in a cooling fluid solution mixed with what Ars Technica calls, ‘redox couples,’ that are capable of producing electricity when oxidized and then reduced again to lose … [Read more...]
