Rising chip and packaging complexity is causing a proportionate increase in thermal couplings, which can reduce performance, shorten the lifespan of chips, and impact overall reliability of chips and ...

UK researchers have proposed the use of photovoltaic-thermal energy for desalination purposes, via an approach based on synergistic electro-thermal coupling mechanisms. They have found that some ...

Engineered nanoparticles (ENP) are said to be widely used in over a thousand products, ranging from cosmetics, clothing, and electronics, to chemical, biomedical, food, energy, materials, ...

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are essential ingredients of thermal management. TIMs are applied between the heat source, e.g. computer chips, and heat sinks and their function is to fill the ...

Multi-die designs, 2.5D and 3D, have been rising in popularity as they offer tremendously increased levels of integration, a smaller footprint, performance gains and more. While they are attractive ...

LANZHOU -- A new study by Chinese scientists has shed light on the coupling effects of snow cover and ground thermal on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, according to the Northwest Institute of ...

Researchers have discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals.
