The rapid expansion of AI workloads, from generative AI models to real-time data analytics, is driving unprecedented demand ...

Laser-induced thermal stress and subsequent crack propagation have emerged as pivotal mechanisms in the precision machining of brittle materials. By utilising focused laser beams, localized heating ...

Managing thermal and mechanical stress in multi-die assemblies will require a detailed knowledge of how and where a device will be used, how it will be packaged, and where stresses could cause ...

A group of researchers led by Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) in Germany and China’s Henan University investigated repeated thermal stress cycles, reflecting diurnal cycles, on the degradation of metal ...

When temperatures increase, most materials tend to expand, causing a change in material dimensions. When two materials that exhibit different thermal expansion behaviors are in direct contact, such as ...

Summer 2024 was the United States’ fourth-hottest on record, and the hottest in history for many cities across the country. As global temperatures rise and heatwaves become more severe and frequent, ...

Perovskite solar cells are highly efficient and low cost in production. However, they still lack stability over the decades under real weather conditions. An international research collaboration has ...

A fixed-free rod is heated uniformly by an amount of ΔT. The rod experiences axial and transverse strains due to temperature increase; however, no stress is developed since the right end of the rod is ...

Careful timing ensures crops can handle a little heat. But recently, sudden heat waves and long-lasting ones in already warm regions have become more common, with predictions saying there’s more to ...
