UC San Diego engineers have created a passive evaporative cooling membrane that could dramatically slash energy use in data ...

In lab tests, the membrane handled over 800 watts per square centimeter, one of the highest thermal loads ever recorded for a ...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new cooling technology that could significantly improve ...

A handful of components inside a computer account for most of the heat it produces. In desktop PCs, the microprocessor gets its own fan. By themselves, these chips generate from a few watts of ...

Central HVAC systems with heat pumps use a comparable amount of energy as a conventional air conditioner, Goranson said. The energy and cost savings of a heat pump are generally more significant ...
