When we hear overheating or thermal throttling in computers, the mind immediately thinks of the CPU or graphics card. These ...

The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) and its spinoff, Blue Heart Energy, have developed a 6 kW heat pump that works on acoustic waves and is able to produce both heat and ...

Electronic systems don't work well in heat – which is a problem, because apart from a few exceptions, heat is a normal byproduct of electricity. Researchers have now developed a thermal diode: a ...

Figure 3: A heat sink coated with THERMAL-XR® on all sides, excluding the base, that is 39% smaller achieves the same results and temperature as the bare aluminium heat sink depicted in Figure 1.

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does ...

The onset of winter and the inevitable frigid temperatures cause a spike in the heating bill as people try to avoid the cold weather, but one third of all heat produced is instantly lost due to poor ...

Imagine being able to program materials to control heat like you can control a light with a dimmer switch. By simply ...
