(July 5, 2016) Thanks to a research grant awarded from the Office of Naval Research for pursuing “high risk-high reward” scientific and technological breakthroughs, six universities are working to develop cost-effective and high-quality substitutes for diamond as a heat conductor. Diamond was recently discovered to be the best available heat conductor, however it is too rare … [Read more...]
Cooling Fans Used for Computer Hacking
(June 24, 2016) Researchers in Israel have recently created malware call Fansmitter and hijacked computer fans to transmit data. According to PCWorld.com, “The research from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev shows how data could be stolen from “air-gapped” computers, which are not connected to the Internet” by manipulating the sounds fans create. Fansmitter can secretly send … [Read more...]

(June 29, 2016) Recently, eBay, Dell, and Intel claimed to have made “major strides in channeling the potential of liquid cooling” to enable greater processing power without excessive consumption “that could have implications for the hyperscale and web services market”, according to EnterpriseTech.com eBay, the world’s largest online marketplace, which handles more than 1 … [Read more...]
Portable Air Conditioning Are Temporary Saviors for Data Centers
(June 27, 2016) In case of a loss of power, mechanical failure, or planned maintenance, portable air conditioning might be an efficient solution to cool data centers’ electronics. According to ACHRNews.com, contractors and data center managers turn to portable cooling because they are “simple and quick to deploy”, as well as for their “low equipment cost and relatively small … [Read more...]
Thermal Expansion Discovery Could Lead to More Durable Electronics
(June 27, 2016) Standford professor of materials science and engineering, Reinhold Dauskardt, and doctoral candidate Joseph Burg, recently released a study revealing that the layers protecting transistors in chips respond differently to compression and tension of bending and stretching. “It has always been assumed that these dense insulating materials react exactly the same … [Read more...]
