University of Tokyo researchers develop thermal management method for electronic devices using fluid dynamics and phonon transport concepts.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a method to control heat flow in graphite crystals using concepts from fluid dynamics and phonon transport. This approach, inspired by Tesla valves, enables more efficient thermal management in electronic devices, such as smartphones and computers. While currently limited to low temperatures, the team believes thermal rectification could be achieved at room temperature, opening new possibilities for device performance optimization.
