Peking University’s 3-Layer Cooling System Handles Record Chip Heat Loads
Peking University engineers built a three-layer microfluidic cooling device that manages 3,000 W/cm² heat flux with just 0.9 W/cm² pumping power. Using manifold, microjet, and microchannel layers, it dissipates heat efficiently, promising a leap toward cooler, smaller, and more power-efficient chip designs.

Japan’s Universal Memory Breakthrough Reduces Energy, Boosts Speed
Scientists in Japan have developed a new type of "universal memory" that could revolutionise computing. Their improved MRAM technology overcomes previous energy limitations by using a multiferroic heterostructure with a vanadium layer for stability. This allows for faster data processing while significantly reducing power consumption, making future...

Indian Researchers Develop Energy-Efficient Method to Create Glass, Could Improve Efficiency of Data Centres
Scientists from IISc, University of Pennsylvania, and MIT reveal a breakthrough with indium selenide that transforms crystalline structures to glass using significantly less energy. By passing a continuous electric current, the crystalline material experiences a “shock” that converts it to glass. The low energy requirement could help lower powe...
