Computing industry veteran John Brandon explains six new products and technologies that promise to solve real data centre problems or are already working to make enterprise operations run more smoothly. They include fiber optics with a twist, submerged liquid cooling and horizontal racks; several broadband lines combined into one; multiple data centers more easily connected; … [Read more...]
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 cells and electronic devices. The team started by … [Read more...]
Military Issues Press for New Materials Development
Pressing needs for new ways to cool electronics for aerospace and defense applications are encouraging the development of new materials to wick heat away from components on boards and in chassis, and also is providing incentive for systems designers to rethink their commitment to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology. One approach to removing heat efficiently from military … [Read more...]
Heat Sinks Contribute to Cool Silence
Silent-cooled graphics cards are becoming increasingly prevalent as PC hardware is becoming increasingly efficient. In silent cooling, a heat sink is installed in a model that engineers determine can remain safely cool without a fan. The heat sink pulls heat build up away from the graphics processor on the card, but since there are no moving parts involved in this cooling … [Read more...]
