Breakthroughs in Materials Science

New technology from Tsinghua University enables efficient thermal management

In the field of materials science, the research team of Associate Professor Liang Fuxin of Tsinghua University recently published an important article in Nature Communications, introducing a new type of double-sided Janus foam material. This material can achieve efficient directional heat transfer without adding extra weight, which is a breakthrough for thermal management of electronic equipment and data centers.

The material is unique in its ability to take advantage of changes in ambient temperature to automatically adjust the direction of heat conduction, thereby improving the efficiency and flexibility of thermal management. This automatic adjustment capability makes the thermal management of electronic equipment under different working conditions more intelligent and efficient.

Contributions of Chinese scholars in the research of magnetic field tunable phase change materials

Chinese scholars have also made important progress in the research of magnetic field-tuned phase-change materials. This result was published on the official website of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Research shows that through the tuning of external magnetic fields, the properties of phase change materials can be effectively controlled, which means more flexible and efficient technical solutions for the field of dynamic thermal management, especially systems that require fast response, such as electric vehicles and portable electronic devices.
