Self-cooling observed in graphene electronics

Green Car Congress

With the first observation of thermoelectric effects at graphene contacts, University of Illinois researchers found that graphene transistors have a nanoscale cooling effect that reduces their temperature. The measurements revealed surprising temperature phenomena at the points where the graphene transistor touches the metal connections.

ARPA-E awarding up to $24M to 10 projects to support advanced nuclear power plants

Green Car Congress

These plants are all conventional light water reactors (LWR), the technology of which has evolved steadily over time. By using a closed Brayton-cycle engine with components connected directly to the reactor core, the team expects to simplify plant construction, leading to lower costs and shorter commissioning times.
