Researchers Find Spider Silk Conducts Heat as Well as Metals
Xinwei Wang and his research team at Iowa State University found that spider silks - particularly the draglines that anchor webs in place - conduct heat better than most materials, including silicon, aluminum and pure iron. Spider silk also conducts heat 1,000 times better than woven silkworm silk and 800 times better than other organic tissues. Spider silk conducts heat at … [Read more...]
Data Center Technology Controls Temp by Moving Software Workloads
Facebook is exploring a technology that controls temperatures in the data center by automatically moving software workloads among servers according to the air pressure on either side of each machine. The system uses a load balancer to shift tasks among servers based on their particular “cooling needs,” which are related to air pressure in the data center. The idea is to keep … [Read more...]
