(May 17, 2016) “Researchers from University of Groningen and the University of Manchester have now, for the first time, directly detected the Peltier effect in graphene that is either one or two atoms thick [and] showed that the effect can be switched from heating to cooling by tuning the type and density of the charge carriers inside the material,” reported Nanowerk.com. The … [Read more...]
How to Choose the Right Solution for Effective Heat Management
(June 3, 2016) Because electronics have shrunk significantly in recent years, the solutions to cool them must be adjusted. Electropages.com suggests “a case-specific analysis must be performed as each application is subject to different circumstances,” to determine the right strategy for cooling electronics. This analysis is called “CFD analysis,” or computational fluid … [Read more...]
New Method for Doping Single Crystals of Diamond Discovered
(May 24, 2016) Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have recently introduced a new method for doping to bring diamonds a step further as semiconductors. Doping is a “process in which other elements are integrated into the semiconductor to change its properties,” explained Phys.org, and “because of diamond's rigid crystalline structure, doping is difficult.” But … [Read more...]
Thermoelectric Modules That Achieve Higher Heat Flux Densities For Cooling Industrial Lasers
Laird has recently developed a high heat flux density thermoelectric module (TEM) designed to achieve a higher heat pumping capacity than standard TEMs, called UltraTEC. “The UltraTEC Series TEM has a heat pumping capacity up to 340 watts, which is ideal for larger cooling applications with limited surface area such as industrial lasers,” claimed Laird. It also has a “precise … [Read more...]
Self-Healable Electronic Material That Can Help Prevent Overheating
(May 16, 2016) A new, more durable electronic material has recently been created to repair itself and heal all its functionality even after breaking several times. Phys.org detailed, “Self-healable materials are those that, after withstanding physical deformation such as being cut in half, naturally repair themselves with little to no external influence.” “Researchers have … [Read more...]
