Novel thermal sensor could help drive down the heat

Science Daily  July 24, 2023 Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices is a sign or cause of inefficient performance. In many cases, embedded sensors to monitor the flow of heat could help engineers alter electronic or mechanical devices behavior or designs to improve their efficiency. Researchers in Japan explored the way a heat flux sensor consisting of certain special magnetic materials and electrodes behaves when there are complex patterns of heat flow. They etched desired patterns into the resultant film, similar to how electronic circuits are made. They designed the circuits in a particular kind of way to boost […]
