New 3D-printed copper technology offers a high-efficiency solution to the data center power crisis. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers developed a computer-chip-cooling technology by ...

A 3D printed cold plate made of pure copper could pave the way for more efficient cooling in data centers, scientists claim. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign used a ...

The physics of the situation are daunting. The crystal must be extraordinarily clean because even trace impurities or defects ...

The increasing power density of data center racks, driven by technologies like cloud computing, generative AI, and crypto mining, has led to the exploration of liquid cooling as a thermal management ...

With AI and 5G creeping into use by more and more people, data centres face an important challenge in maintaining efficient cooling systems especially as the demand for computational power continues ...

The researchers reported that their optimized copper cold plates delivered up to 32% better cooling performance than conventional cold plates in liquid cooling, while also reducing pressure drop by as ...

Using lifecycle assessment to determine potential end-to-end impact, Microsoft researchers assess the pros and cons of cold plate liquid cooling and one-phase and two-phase immersion cooling. Large ...

As of 2025, single-phase direct-to-chip (D2C) cooling remains the dominant solution for high-end GPU thermal management. However, as thermal design power (TDP) continues to climb, two-phase D2C ...
