An international team led by researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute has demonstrated a device capable of electrically controlling heat flow, potentially transforming ...

Groundbreaking cerium oxide-based thermal switches achieve remarkable performance, transforming heat flow control with sustainable and efficient technology. Thermal switches, which electrically ...

Imagine being able to program materials to control heat like you can control a light with a dimmer switch. By simply squeezing or stretching the materials, you can make them hotter or colder.

Why is this type of thermal switch needed? How the ceramic material and structure was developed for superior performance. The results achieved with this material and arrangement. Many engineers are ...

Xiangyu Li, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, and his PhD student, Shaodong Zhang, work on an experiment.

TL;DR: Thermal paste and pads both have their merits for cooling hot-running components like CPUs and GPUs. While quality thermal paste can effectively fill air gaps for optimal heat transfer when ...
