Large-scale, effective, and passive: these descriptions are aptly given to the integrated radiative and evaporative chiller (IREC), designed and tested by researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing ...

The apparently insatiable heat-removing demands of modern processors and other components. Why evaporative cooling is an attractive heat-removal option, but it has present-day limitations. How a new ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A high-power chip can overheat itself into failure. Conventional chip cooling keeps devices alive by moving heat into air or coolant, where it is lost unless a larger recovery ...

Engineers created a fiber membrane that passively cools electronics, boosting energy efficiency and cutting water use in data centers and other systems. (Nanowerk News) Engineers at the University of ...

A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a novel super-hygroscopic material that enhances sweat evaporation within a personal protective suit, to create a ...

Electrostatic spinning produced an asymmetrically wettable polylactic acid/boron nitride nanosheets (PLA/BNNS) composite fabric that integrates passive radiative cooling, high thermal conductivity ...

Japanese scientists have designed a cooling system that reduces the solar panel operating temperature at the air inlet of the module. It consists of a dew-point evaporative cooler that supplies the ...

Researchers have developed a novel super-hygroscopic material that enhances sweat evaporation within a personal protective suit, to create a cooling effect for better thermal comfort for users such as ...
