Phase-change heatsink for space

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are investigating phase-change as a way to improve heat-sinking in space. Earth-bound heatsinks loose most of their heat by convection – a luxury ... The post Phase-change heatsink for space appeared first on Electronics Weekly.

Researchers Take Heat Sink Experiments to Space

An interdisciplinary research team from The Grainger College of Engineering is investigating cooling methods for heat sinks by performing experiments onboard a satellite currently orbiting the earth.
