Magnetically-stimulated fluid flow patterns may offer a new method for handling difficult heat transfer problems by overcoming natural convection limits, according to new research from scientists at Sandia National Laboratories. Convection cooling, which refers to the transfer of heat between two places by the movement of fluids, is often forced in many modern cooling systems … [Read more...]
Gummy Electrolyte Could Reduce Battery Fire Hazard
Researchers at Washington State University have developed a new conductive gum-like material that could improve the safety of lithium ion batteries. Used in laptops, smartphones and other electronic devices, lithium ion batteries are capable of storing a large amount of energy compared to other batteries. Their biggest safety risk, however, comes from the electrolyte in the … [Read more...]
Magnetic Refrigeration Could Replace Compressor Systems
Researchers working in GE labs have used special magnetic materials to generate temperatures cold enough to freeze water in a breakthrough that could find its way into commercial refrigerators by the end of the decade. (Video: General Electric). Researchers at General Electric have unveiled a new refrigerant system utilizing special magnetic materials that could be up to 20 … [Read more...]
