Liquid-Infused Nanostructured Composites As A Universal Thermal Interface Solution for Cooling Applications


A new technical paper titled "Liquid-infused nanostructured composite as a high-performance thermal interface material for effective cooling" was published by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, Oregon State University and Arieca. Abstract "Effective heat dissipation remains a grand challenge for energy-dense devices and systems. As heterogeneous integration becomes increasingly inev... » read more

Expecting The Unexpected: Analyzing A Data Center Cooling Failure


Data center thermal management is often a reactive process. Servers issue warning messages, monitoring alarms activate, or employees express concern about general temperature levels/hotspots and then management decides what to do next. For incremental issues, once known, the necessary steps can be taken to resolve or improve these issues; however, what happens when a potential thermal issue onl... » read more

Can Data Centers Afford To Turn Up The Heat?


Typically, when we discuss digital twin software for data centers, we highlight how engineers can use data center software to model complex thermals using physics-based simulation and find effective ways to cool IT equipment. However, there are compelling efficiency and cost-saving reasons for data center operators to actively seek to run their data centers hotter. But how can this be done wit... » read more
