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 ...

Engineers have discovered a surprising new way to increase a material's thermal conductivity that provides a new tool for managing thermal effects in computers, lasers and a number of other powered ...

Rubbing out: erasing bits of data can be more energy-efficient. (Credit to iStock/yenwen) The energy cost of erasing a bit of data can be decreased exponentially by embedding the bit in a “squeezed ...

A novel semiconducting material with high thermal conductivity can be integrated into high-power computer chips to cool them down and so improve their performance. The material, boron arsenide, is ...

At CES 2023, Owl Autonomous Imaging announced the availability of an Evaluation Kit for their new Thermal Ranger ADAS & Autonomous Navigation Development Platform. This hardware and software kit ...
