Ventiva company showcased at CES 2025 their fanless cooling system Ventiva ICE9 in a Dell laptop with an Intel Lunar Lake processor. The Ventiva ICE9 system is based on the company’s patented Ionic ...

The phrase "engage the ion drive" still has the ring of a line from Star Wars, but these engines have been used in space missions for more than four decades and remain the subject of ongoing research.

Researchers at Purdue University have demonstrated a new technology that employs "ionic wind engines" to cool chips as much as five times more effectively than other experimental cooling approaches, ...

Most laptop computers have fans to help dissipate heat generated by the CPU and other hardware. But fans generate noise, have a habit of getting clogged with dust, and like most moving parts, an ...
