(PhysOrg.com) -- Cornell researcher Derek Stewart and collaborators have calculated the exact mechanism by which diamond conducts heat, a breakthrough that could lend insight into many fields, including electronics. http://www.physorg.com/news172850785.html Physics Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:10:43 EST news172850785 An experimental heat transfer system designed by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is scheduled to depart Earth aboard Space Shuttle Discovery. Astronauts will install the system into a laboratory of the International Space Station, where it will remain for up to three years. http://www.physorg.com/news170422286.html Physics Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:50:02 EST news170422286 (PhysOrg.com) -- A well-established physical law describes the transfer of heat between two objects, but some physicists have long predicted that the law should break down when the objects are very close together. Scientists had never been able to confirm, or measure, this breakdown in practice. For the first time, however, MIT researchers have achieved this feat, and determined that the heat transfer can be 1,000 times greater than the law predicts. http://www.physorg.com/news168101848.html Physics Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:58:36 EST news168101848 Approximately a third of the electricity consumed by large data centers doesn't power the computer servers that conduct online transactions, serve Web pages or store information. Instead, that electricity must be used for cooling the servers, a demand that continues to increase as computer processing power grows. http://www.physorg.com/news163176927.html Technology Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:56:09 EST news163176927 Engineers at Oregon State University have made a major new advance in taking waste heat and using it to run a cooling system - a technology that can improve the energy efficiency of diesel engines, and perhaps some day will appear in automobiles, homes and industry. http://www.physorg.com/news157813894.html Technology Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:11:58 EST news157813894 (PhysOrg.com) -- Adding just the right dash of nanoparticles to standard mixes of lubricants and refrigerants could yield the equivalent of an energy-saving chill pill for factories, hospitals, ships, and others with large cooling systems, suggest the latest results from National Institute of Standards and Technology research that is pursuing promising formulations. http://www.physorg.com/news136033045.html Nanotechnology Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:57:25 EST news136033045 Whoever penned the old adage "a watched pot never boils" surely never tried to heat up water in a pot lined with copper nanorods. http://www.physorg.com/news133712899.html Nanotechnology Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:28:19 EST news133712899
