PCIe 6.0’s thermal throttling plans could slam brakes on performance
Image: Dan74 / Shutterstock.com Most enthusiasts know that a PC’s CPU will throttle down to prevent overheating. GPUs and even most PCIe 50. SSDs ship with huge heat sinks and blowers. But the latest casualty of thermal throttling might be the PCI Express bus itself — which is being programmed to reduce the link speed
Exploring the thermal limits of advanced nanomaterials
A fundamental understanding of the thermal behavior of reinforcement materials is crucial to fully exploit their properties in composites. Boron nitride nanotubes, or BNNTs, are stronger and more resistant to high temperatures than carbon nanotubes. Like their carbon cousins, they are structures measured by the nanometer—a length equal to one-billionth of a meter. In a
‘Blue Thermal’ Reveals Additional Staff, Second Trailer
Toei posted a second trailer for the Blue Thermal anime movie on Thursday, revealing additional production staff. The movie is scheduled to open in theaters in Japan on March 4. Staff Character Design, Chief Animation Director: Miho Tanino (Kami no Tou) Art Director: Yasuhiro Yamako (Lupin III (2015)) Color Design: Satoshi Hashimoto (Sonny Boy) Director…
Turning Up the Heat: Thermal Energy Storage Could Help Decarbonize Buildings
Berkeley Lab researchers have reported a breakthrough in phase-change materials, which will improve the affordability of thermal energy storage. Phase-change materials can be added inside walls and automatically keep a building cool or warm depending on the ambient temperature.
