Scientists at Sweden's Institute of Technology have developed a nanofluid solution that could eventually be used to cool massive data centers and server farms. Researcher Mamoun Muhammed told CNN that his team had experimented with various nanoparticles, but the ones currently showing the most potential are oxides of metals such as zinc and copper. However, carbon nanotubes are … [Read more...]
Graphite Foam Promises Longer-Lasting LEDs
A new graphite foam cooling system developed at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee may soon allow LED lamps to go much longer between fixture replacements. The graphite foam works by passively wicking heat away from the lamp via its lightly packed, open skeletal structure – and given that a 10-degree decrease in operating temperature … [Read more...]
what's happening
Melting-While-Cooling Silicon Could Improve Solar Cells Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently discovered that by dissolving certain metals into silicon, they can add that silicon compound to the relatively short list of exotic substances that exhibit retrograde melting. Their accomplishment could ultimately result in less expensive solar … [Read more...]
