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 ...

The MM4250 cryogenic SP6T switch from Menlo Microsystems is designed for switching and control of high-speed and RF signals ...

An international team led by researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute has demonstrated a device capable of electrically controlling heat flow, potentially transforming ...

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

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 ...

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, ...
