13 W thermal gap filler is ideal for higher power applications
When placed between heat generating components and a nearby heat sink, the silicone-based material completely fills air gaps between uneven components, board protrusions and recessed areas.
Employee safety training is more effective with immersive VR
Participants are exposed to the smell of smoke, which emits from a nearby scent diffuser. Such simulated conditions, according to the researchers, work together to create a multi-sensory virtual environment.
Researchers develop a device that helps amputees feel artificial limbs
An international team of researchers led by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich recently unveiled a device that will enable those with above-the-knee amputations to “feel” a prosthetic leg.
Professor creates a 'laser scarecrow' for warding off birds
A professor from the University of Rhode Island has developed a laser scarecrow capable of warding off birds from farmers' crops.
Engineers using lasers to weld ceramics without a furnace
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, and the University of California, Riverside, have developed a new ceramic welding technique that will potentially pave the way for unbreakable smartphones, metal-free pacemakers and electronics that can withstand the conditions of space and other harsh environments.
4-Watt thin film for high-power applications
The compliant silicone thin film fills near-microscopic air gaps between high-power heat generating components and heat sinks.
