Liquid metal, with its superior thermal conductivity, has been utilized as a novel coolant in microchannel heat sinks (MCHS). However, Liquid metal-based MCHSs suffer from the low heat capacity of ...

Manchester University is the UK partner in a three-year joint US/UK project to develop a liquid metal testing facility that will help investigate the behaviour of liquid lead as a coolant for nuclear ...

While TES has struggled to take off to date, US-based Fourth Power is taking a new technological approach to some of the cost and scale challenges. Its high-density TES system is based on its Guinness ...

Xerendipity wants to replace traditional thermal interface materials with its Vapor-Pad, claiming up to an astonishing 1,200 ...

New fusion simulations of the inside of a tokamak reveal the ideal spot for a 'cave' with flowing liquid lithium is near the bottom by the center stack, as the evaporating metal particles should land ...

The knowledge gaps and modelling challenges in LMFR are primarily related to two facts. Firstly, the heat transfer characteristics of liquid metal are markedly different from that of conventional ...

Researchers at Iowa State University have produced novel micro-sized particles filled with liquid metal that retains its liquid state at room temperature and are able to meld with each other. The new ...
