A group of researchers has created a liquid solar energy storage system that can create electricity on demand. The system can store solar energy for up to 18 years, allowing them to release it when ...

As medical diagnostics labs accelerate automation to increase workflow, systems are becoming more complex as they continue shrink in size, perform multiple tasks, and comprise evermore ...

Air is an absolutely terrible medium with which to move or remove heat from a system, but it sure is a lot easier and cheaper (well, at least in terms of the cost of goods sold) than adding some sort ...

Robotic liquid handling underpins many modern laboratory automation strategies, enabling precise, repeatable movement of liquids across experimental workflows. As research laboratories process ...

While liquid cooling is rightly considered an emerging technology, it’s not new. Early IBM mainframes from the 1960s and Cray supercomputers featured liquid cooling. Notably, a full-time technician ...

Failure to sufficiently cool an electronic component will lead to overheating, which can reduce its lifespan or even permanently damage the product’s internal system. Selecting a cooling method for ...

As AI and high-density workloads transform thermal demands, liquid cooling is fast becoming a cornerstone of data center ...

Back in 2017 we caught wind of an interesting energy system from researchers at Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology designed to store solar energy in liquid form. By hooking it up to an ...

The big picture: As artificial intelligence and high-performance computing continue to drive demand for increasingly powerful data centers, the industry faces a growing challenge: how to cool ...

For many years, the landscape of data center innovation has been dominated by solid-state electronics. The relentless pursuit of faster chips, denser racks and larger facilities has been the mantra ...
