Tokyo … News Time

Scientists at a Japanese research center have observed a phenomenon that could lead to more efficient computer-cooling technologies. A team at the National Institute for Materials Science says it has measured temperature changes caused by the flow of electricity through a U-shaped piece of magnetic nickel. They noted that temperatures go up and down slightly where the metal bends. They also found that higher flows of electricity lead to greater degrees of variation. The researchers say the phenomenon was first predicted more than 50 years ago, but this is the first time it’s been observed. Team leader Kenichi Uchida says the cooling is accomplished without vibration or noise, as it’s done solely by the flow of electricity. He added the system doesn’t require much space, which could lead to a breakthrough in thermal control. The finding is also expected to help advance studies in converting electricity to heat as well as technology for cooling computers.
