Researchers from the University of Wuhan and Guangxi University produced the fibrous foam by combining cellulose fibres from cotton and the tough biopolymer chitin, which forms a squid's skeleton ...

Reapplying a fresh layer of thermal paste to a graphics card's GPU is quite easy but dealing with its thermal pads is another matter altogether. Thermal Grizzly reckons it has the perfect solution ...

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are known for several features which make them one of the nanoparticles with great potential for application in different areas such as biosensors development and carrier ...

or thin out over time and provide insufficient heat conductivity. A clue to this is if you experience poor CPU temperatures straight after you apply the thermal paste, or you notice CPU ...

In electronic devices, gaps can form because of rough surfaces, manufacturing flaws, or misalignment during assembly. These gaps have lower thermal conductivity than solid materials, leading to higher ...
