Accurate and stable temperature control is necessary for effectively using many thermally sensitive components and sensors, such as semiconductor lasers and optical detectors. An industry has grown up ...

The actuation of microscale liquid droplets is a key point in the lab-on-chip field. Marangoni force actuation resulting from a temperature gradient has remarkable advantages. However, high hysteresis ...

Driving force An experiment has confirmed that an oscillating temperature gradient boosts heat flow in fluids. (Courtesy: iStock/Mervana) Physicists in the Czech Republic have shown that heat flows ...

How an advanced material can become both p- and n-material based on temperature gradient. The process by which this material was discovered and enhanced. The possible applications of this device ...

As IC design complexity and sensitivity rises and operating voltages fall, the use of constant (average) chip temperature models can lead to over-design or multiple design spins. The variation in ...

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 ...
