(June 13, 2016) Device manufacturers are making more accurate, compact medical equipment with electronics technology. MedicalPlasticsNews.com reported that they are using “pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs)” which were “developed as a heat sink attachment method to eliminate the need for clamping” for “interconnects, grounding and shielding applications in medical … [Read more...]
Two New Approaches to Thermal Management Problems
(June 14, 2016) Recent research is looking at two opposite physical effects to keep chips cool by possibly distributing process loads across multiple cores. According to NewElectronics.co.uk, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is conducting two kinds of research into thermal materials. Dr Alexandre Cuenat, a researcher in the National Physical Laboratory’s Thermoelectric … [Read more...]
A Cooler Microchip Design with a Black Semiconductor
(June 12, 2016) Researchers and scientists at the University of California-Berkeley have found that layered, crystalline black phosphorus could “lead to a new microchip design that lets heat flow away and keeps electrons moving,” said Phys.org. They have measured the anisotropic thermal properties in black phosphorus nanoribbons, and Phys.org reported, “In their research, the … [Read more...]
Controlling the Heating and Cooling in Graphene
(May 17, 2016) “Researchers from University of Groningen and the University of Manchester have now, for the first time, directly detected the Peltier effect in graphene that is either one or two atoms thick [and] showed that the effect can be switched from heating to cooling by tuning the type and density of the charge carriers inside the material,” reported Nanowerk.com. The … [Read more...]
Microfluidic Cooling Could Be Answer to Heat Buildup in Microchips
(June 4, 2016) DARPA is seeking out solutions for the massive problem of heat buildup in microchips. They think they found it in microfluidic cooling. They’ve initiated a program called ICECool Applications (Intra/Interchip Enhanced Cooling), according to TechRepublic.com, which is “exploring disruptive thermal technologies that will mitigate thermal limitations on the … [Read more...]
