A Professor at Syracuse University, Shalabh Maroo, his research group, and collaborators at NIST and RPI have “created a single vapor bubble in a pool of liquid that can remain stable on a surface for hours, instead of milliseconds," reported Nanowerk.com. The group used a focused laser beam to put boiling on pause, which will give researchers “the time necessary to … [Read more...]
Nominations Open for IEEE ITherm Achievement Award
The biennial ITherm Achievement Award is open for nominations for 2016. The Award is presented in recognition of significant contributions made in thermal and thermomechanical management of electronics, of pioneering and sustaining electronics thermal/thermomechanical research contributions, of service to the electronics thermal/thermo-mechanical management community, and of … [Read more...]
New Platform for Nanoscale Thermal Measurements
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...]
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...]
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...]
