Data centers need a lot of energy, most of which is used to cool down the microprocessors. A Swiss startup called Ionic Wind Technologies has created a new technology to cool down machines that use a ...

Several super-thin air-moving technologies have emerged in the last few years. This sounds like sci-fi but it's totally real.

A team from MIT is working on developing ionic wind thrusters as an energy-efficient, low-emission alternative to conventional propulsion technologies like jet engines. The new thrusters would use ...

A newly designed airplane prototype does away with noisy propellers and turbines. Instead, it’s powered by ionic wind: charged molecules, or ions, flowing in one direction and pushing the plane in the ...

SeattlePI has a story on-line that talks about a Ukrainian-born professor from the University of Washington that's been working a method to cool computer chips using an ionic wind. It may sound like ...

May 26, 2009 Keeping electronic components cool is a constant problem for electronics manufacturers – computer manufacturers in particular. While desktop PCs have a few options open to them, such as ...

A propulsion technology breakthrough has resulted in a new patent for SUNY Oswego’s electrical and computer engineering professor Adrian Ieta’s ionic wind research. In 2018, Ieta and a team of ...

A team of researchers at Purdue University look to be doing their best to put conventional computer cooling techniques to shame, to that end developing a prototype system that uses an "ionic wind" to ...

Most drones today are noisy: The whine of motors and the hum of propellers produces an unavoidable din that instantly telegraphs their presence. By contrast, the small plane that flew across an indoor ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When a current passes between two electrodes — one thinner than the other — it creates a wind in the air between. If enough voltage is applied, the resulting wind can produce a thrust ...
