How Thermal Conductivity Measurements Influenced the Design of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO)

Introduction Astrophysicists everywhere are riding the waves of discovery – gravitational waves. The recent NANOGrav collaboration announcement has sent ripples to the scientific community. After 15 years of diligent observation and data collection, they’ve detected the hum of the gravitational wave background echoing through the cosmos. It...

Understanding Thermal Impedance and Thermal Conductivity in Thermal Interface Materials

Introduction Thermal impedance and thermal conductivity are two critical material properties in the thermal interface material (TIM) selection process. TIMs, a unique group of thermally superior materials, act as passive heat transporters in complex electronic devices like light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and computer processing units (CPUs). They...
