(April 13th, 2016) Michal Talmor, a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical engineering at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Massachusetts, is focused on bringing electrohydrodynamic (EHD)-based thermal control to space exploration devices. Now in the second year of her NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship (NSTRF), according to I-Connect007.com, “Talmor’s … [Read more...]
Electrocaloric Polymers That Create On-Demand Cooling
A team of researchers from Pennsylvania State University have recently developed a blend of ferroelectric polymers that could cool chips and small scale systems on demand. According to NewElectronics these are called electrocaloric materials, and typically an external field is required for them to operate correctly, but the “latest polymer blend can hold absorbed heat even … [Read more...]
Formula Developed for Heat Transfer Between Near-Field Bodies
Alejandro Rodriguez, a researcher at Princeton, and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have come up with a formula that describes the maximum heat transfer between near-field objects in a recent study. Phys.org claimed that “with this new formula, engineers will know how much more performance can be squeezed out of their structural and material … [Read more...]
New Coolers for Laser Diodes Released
Recently Rogers Corporation’s Power Electronics Solutions (PES) group has released its new curamik CoolPerformance Plus coolers. Roger’s said that “curamik CoolPerformance Plus is an advanced liquid-cooled material designed to dissipate large amounts of heat and provide reliable thermal management of high-power laser diodes and other heat-generating optical devices.” These … [Read more...]
Diamonds May Take Silicon’s Place in Future Smartphones
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...]
