A man from Hong Kong broke the speed record for his Intel Skylake by overclocking to 7.025 GHz clock speed with liquid nitrogen cooling, as reported by DigitalTrends.com. To achieve this 75 percent boost, “the overclocker had to bootstrap a nitrogen cooling solution for their CPU, using its extremely low temperature (-321 degrees Fahrenheit to be exact) to draw heat away from … [Read more...]
Quantum Heat Transfer Proven Possible Over Long Distances
A research group at Aalto University, Finland, has discovered a way to efficiently cool down quantum processors without disturbing computer operations. According to Phys.org, the scientists, led by quantum physicist Mikko Möttönen, transported heat faster than has ever been done with electrons, the usual choice of heat carrier, by using photons instead. “In the QCD Labs in … [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...]
Underwater Data Center Test Proves Successful
Microsoft, who manages more than 100 data centers around the world, has completed testing of a self-contained data center prototype that can operate hundreds of feet below the surface of the ocean. The New York Times reported that the prototype was a “large white steel tube, covered with heat exchangers, with its ends sealed by metal plates and large bolts” and “a single data … [Read more...]
New Lithium-Ion Battery Prevents Itself from Overheating
Researchers at Stanford have designed the first lithium-ion battery that can shut down and restart on its own to prevent overheating. “The battery shuts [itself] down before overheating, then restarts immediately when the temperature cools,” reported Stanford News. The authors of the study used graphene-and-carbon-coated nanoscale spiky nickel particles embedded in a thin … [Read more...]
