In a new paper, researchers have detailed a brand new way to cool down computer chips. This idea manipulates the speed of photons. Researchers at Stanford University have managed to develop a new way ...

As more devices get piled onto computer chips to increase processing power capacity, heat generation becomes increasingly concentrated. This heat must be removed to keep chip performance high, but is ...

Was hoping someone would have some innovative suggestions. The building where I work has a small computer/electrical room. It is a shared room, with all 4 tenants' computer systems in it as well as ...

Jumping electric charges could waft breezes of ionised air through microchips, replacing the bulky, noisy fans that cool down today’s computers. Researchers at Purdue University in West Lafayette, ...

Computer gamers need lots of power, and a new Rochester computer maker thinks it can provide it. Hardcore Computer wants to crack the lucrative gamer market by building a muscular system with an ...

The microchips inside future computers could be chilled by tiny “ionic wind engines” that use an electric current to generate a cooling breeze. Researchers at Purdue University in Indiana, US, are ...

Effective cooling methods are essential for the running of the datacentre. In this 16-page buyer’s guide, Computer Weekly looks at how to power them efficiently, the potential of a shift to liquid ...
