(May 16, 2016) A new, more durable electronic material has recently been created to repair itself and heal all its functionality even after breaking several times. Phys.org detailed, “Self-healable materials are those that, after withstanding physical deformation such as being cut in half, naturally repair themselves with little to no external influence.” “Researchers have … [Read more...]
New Material Cools Solar Cells Yet Absorbs Sunlight
Recently, researchers from Stanford University have achieved a combination of cooling and maintaining sunlight absorption with a wafer made of silica to better cool solar cells, according to BusinessWire.com. BusinessWire.com explained, “The researchers etched tapered holes, about 6 micrometers across and 10 micrometers deep, in the wafer. The holes are designed to smooth the … [Read more...]
Innovative Water Boiling Approach Could Cool Advanced Electronics
Oregon State University engineers have recently discovered a new way to make advanced electronics more efficient by inducing and controlling boiling bubble formations. According to ScienceDaily.com, “The new approach is based on the use of piezoelectric inkjet printing to create hydrophobic polymer "dots" on a substrate, and then deposit a hydrophilic zinc oxide nanostructure … [Read more...]
Industry’s First Portable Measurement Equipment to Improve Thermal Efficiency
SANYO DENKI has recently developed and launched the first portable measuring equipment that measures the system impedance and operating airflow of devices. The San Ace Airflow Tester claims to “improve the thermal efficiency of a device” by “measuring the system impedance and operating airflow of devices” according to Sanyo Denki. It is compact and lightweight, and has the … [Read more...]
Graphene Nanoflakes Better Dissipates Electronics’ Heat
(April 29, 2016) Recently, a team of researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a more efficient approach to cooling electronics using graphene nanoflake-based film. According to E&T, the team performed “experiments in which they managed to increase the efficiency of heat transfer by 76 per cent” – the kind of results that suggest … [Read more...]
