An international team of researchers, lead by a team at the University of Michigan, have discovered that Coulomb Interactions dissipate heat better than expected. “The scientists demonstrated that the electrostatic interactions between electrically charged particles — known as Coulomb interactions — in different layers of multi-layered graphene offers a key mechanism for … [Read more...]
New Material Boosts Efficiency of Solar Cells and Improves Cooling
Researchers from Stanford University have successfully improved the efficiency of solar cells and solar panels. They have developed a transparent overlay material, a patterned silica material on top of a normal solar cell, which increases solar cell efficiency by cooling cells in full sunlight. The material works by radiating heat away from the solar cells, according to … [Read more...]
Company CEO Asks “Is Free Cooling Really Free?” At Conference
CEO of LiquidCooling Solutions, Inc., Herb Zien, is serving on a panel until Thursday, Sept. 24, at the North America’s Emerging Green Conference in Portland, Oregon. On Wednesday Sept. 23, from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m., Zien will give a presentation that challenges the legitimacy of Free Cooling. Zien will explain inefficiencies and environmental waste associated with free cooling via … [Read more...]
Solution to Heat Transfer in Phase Change Materials Unveiled
Dr. Patrick Shamberger, assistant professor at Texas A&M University, has found an “analytical solution to heat transfer in PCMs (Phase Change Materials) used in thermal energy storage and has identified the relative role of thermo-physical properties of different materials,” according to Phys.org. Shamberger is one of the lead researchers studying high-energy storage … [Read more...]
Thermal Invisibility Cloak Improves Heat Distribution in Electronics
A team of researchers from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore has developed a thermal invisibility cloak that would improve heat distribution in electronic devices by redirecting incoming heat. The cloaks are capable of guiding heat around a hidden object, thus resulting in complete thermal invisibility. “Based on carefully engineered metamaterials – … [Read more...]
