Researchers at the Hokkaido University in Japan have used a novel approach of using cerium oxide (CeO2) as an active material in thermal switches to make them more efficient and sustainable to produce ...

Key research finding: Modern devices that use lithium ion batteries, like smartphones and electric cars, seem pretty robust. But try to use one in extreme heat or cold, and you’ll see how susceptible ...

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- Researchers working on an Army project developed nanoscale thermal switches that are key to thermal management of nanoscale devices, refrigeration, data storage, ...

Groundbreaking cerium oxide-based thermal switches achieve remarkable performance, transforming heat flow control with sustainable and efficient technology. Thermal switches, which electrically ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) With the exponential rise of power dissipation in electric devices such as integrated circuits or micro (MEMS) or nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS), new thermal management ...

Electronics, and batteries in particular, are vulnerable to very high or very low temperatures, but a new thermal switch could help deal with both. It's made from (what else) graphene foam that can ...

The Global Thermal Switches Market, valued at approximately USD 1.3 billion in 2022, is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of more than 4.50% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Thermal switches are ...
