technological innovation

Double-sided Janus foam for thermal management applications

In recent years, significant progress has been made in the application of materials science in the field of thermal management. Associate Professor Liang Fuxin of Tsinghua University and his team introduced a new double-sided Janus foam material in a study published in Nature Communications. The unique dual nature of this material enables efficient directional thermal management, particularly in the cooling of electronic devices.

The material is hydrophilic on one side and hydrophobic on the other, effectively guiding and managing the direction of heat transfer. Tests have shown that this new material can significantly improve heat dissipation efficiency, reduce equipment heating, and thereby extend the service life and performance stability of electronic equipment. This technological breakthrough has important practical significance for thermal management of electronic devices.

The rise of two-phase cold plate cooling technology

According to the IDTechEx research report, "Two-Phase Cold Plate Cooling Will Take Off as Early as 2026-2027" points out that two-phase cold plate cooling technology will develop rapidly from 2026 to 2027. Compared with traditional single cooling methods, two-phase cold plate cooling technology achieves more efficient heat transfer by utilizing the phase change process of liquid, and is especially suitable for cooling high-power equipment and data centers.

The report points out that with the continuous expansion of data center scale and the high-density integration of computing equipment, traditional air cooling and water cooling technologies are no longer able to meet the growing cooling needs. Two-phase cold plate cooling technology is expected to become the mainstream of the next generation of thermal management technology due to its advantages in efficiency and reliability.

market trends

Thermal management system market size continues to grow

The "Thermal Management System Market Size, Share [2034]" report released by Fortune Business Insights predicts that the thermal management system market will continue to expand in the next few years and is expected to reach significant scale by 2034. Report analysis believes that this growth is mainly attributed to the strong demand for efficient cooling solutions in electronic equipment, electric vehicles, and data centers.

The report also pointed out that the Asian market, especially China and India, will become a key growth driver for the global thermal management system market due to their rapid industrialization process and huge consumer market. At the same time, the North American and European markets also show strong growth potential, especially in the areas of electric vehicles and data centers.
