(July 21, 2016) University of Houston’s MD Anderson Professor and physicist, Zhifeng Ren, has joined the $7.5 million collaboration to develop a material with a higher conductivity than diamonds. “Earlier research conducted in this field has anticipated the potential of boron arsenide to be a better thermal conductor than diamonds,” said Ren, “David Broido, a Boston College … [Read more...]
Combination of Two Insulators Could Enable More Efficient Heat Management
(July 28, 2016) Recently, “researchers at the University of Utah and the University of Minnesota have discovered that when two oxide compounds—strontium titanate (STO) and neodymium titanate (NTO)—are joined together, they make an extraordinary conductive material that could vastly improve power transistors,” according to Spectrum.IEEE.org. By themselves, each material … [Read more...]
Heat Sinks Improved with 3D Printing
(July 18, 2016) The complimenting research done by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee Knoxville has found a way to improve the heat dissipation in electronics using 3D printing. According to 3DPrint.com, “[Oak Ridge] researchers are showing that 3D printed aluminum may be a more viable source for conducting heat than traditional materials. And at … [Read more...]
New Material Allows Quantum Computing without Overheating
(July 21, 2016) Recently, with the use of some everyday materials, researchers discovered a breakthrough that would allow quantum computing at room temperature. “A long conduction electron spin lifetime in metallic-like material made up of carbon nanospheres […] was produced simply by burning naphthalene, the active ingredient in mothballs,” reported TheConversation.com. “The … [Read more...]
Liquid Cooled Computer Runs Train Safety Big Data Analysis
(July 15, 2016) According to CBROnline.com, the “Institute of Railway Research has chosen a liquid cooled high-performance computer to run railway safety big data risk analysis.” “The HPC called PetaGen 1C, immerses Intel server electronics in a non-flammable liquid coolant in order to provide dedicated computing sources for the IRR’s big data risk analysis research programme … [Read more...]
