Assessing individual components is the foremost step in system thermal analysis. A component's reported thermal-resistance data becomes the gauge for thermal evaluation and management. It is therefore ...

In materials science, thermal testing refers to the process of subjecting materials to analysis through thermal control in order to collect data on a wide range of properties. Generally, thermal ...

Read the introduction to this series in Part 1, and the conclusion in Part 3, which covers stability. This is Part 2 of a three-part series which discusses how to properly test a DC/DC power supply to ...

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 ...

As the transistor density and switching speed of integrated circuits (ICs) increase and the package size decreases, the emerging generation of high-power ICs requires thermal management during testing ...

Are your environmental test results exposing true device weaknesses, or just reflecting extreme stress conditions?

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at the Hokkaido University in Japan have used a novel approach of using cerium oxide (CeO2) as an active material in ...
