The National Science Foundation has awarded the 2011 Alexander Schwarzkopf Prize for Technological Innovation to a Purdue University professor for his research to develop advanced cooling technologies for electronics and cars. The prize specifically recognizes Suresh V. Garimella’s work to develop “two-phase microchannel heat sinks” to cool high-power electronics in electric … [Read more...]
Micropumping Technologies for Electronics Cooling
Introduction Traditional cooling approaches, consisting typically of external air-cooled heat sinks, are increasingly falling short in meeting the thermal management challenges of emerging electronic systems. Integrated cooling designs are being investigated to eliminate some of the interface contact resistances introduced by add-on heat sinking and to minimize package … [Read more...]
