(April 29, 2016) Recently, a team of researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a more efficient approach to cooling electronics using graphene nanoflake-based film. According to E&T, the team performed “experiments in which they managed to increase the efficiency of heat transfer by 76 per cent” – the kind of results that suggest … [Read more...]
BIG Thermal Test for the JWST Test Model
(April 22nd, 2016) The James Webb Space Telescope had an “observatory core” test model twin of itself constructed for the biggest thermal test Goddard mechanical integration technician, Chris Matthews, has ever had. Matthews’ team of technicians put together the model, according to Phys.org, which will “stand in for the real thing in an upcoming test at NASA's Goddard Space … [Read more...]
New Approach to Simulate Nanoscale Thermoelectric Materials
(April 7th, 2016) A research group led by Joe Feser, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Delaware, has developed a new approach to simulating nanoscale heat transfer in materials, according to Phys.org. More specifically, the research group is “investigating the limits of heat transport using a suite of new tools for nanoscale … [Read more...]

Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Automated Meshing Philosophy?
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Automated Meshing Philosophy? Peter Rodgers Fairy tales are a well-established way to convey science and technology education. For example, a recent textbook [1] has documented how a range of Victorian-era (1837 – 1901) instructors used fairies and their tales to clarify scientific and technological concepts for young audiences. Today, … [Read more...]
