#Graphene-based film can be used for efficient cooling of electronics Abstract: Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a method for efficiently cooling electronics using graphene-based film.
The film has a thermal conductivity capacity that is four times that of copper. Moreover, the graphene film is attachable to electronic components made of silicon,
which favours the films performance compared to typical graphene characteristics shown in previous, similar experiments.
Electronic systems available today accumulate a great deal of heat, mostly due to the ever-increasing demand on functionality.
The researchers have shown that the in-plane thermal conductivity of the graphene-based film, with 20 micrometer thickness, can reach a thermal conductivity value of 1600 W/mk,
"One example is the integration of graphene-based film into microelectronic devices and systems, such as highly Efficient light Emitting Diodes (LEDS), lasers and radio frequency components for cooling purposes.
Graphene-based film could also pave the way for faster, smaller, more energy efficient, sustainable high power electronics."

#How Streaming Is Changing Music There was a moment in the mid-2000s when it seemed like we might be collecting songs, one-by-one, into eternity.
The era of streaming music is upon us and if you need writing on the wall,
turn to the relentless coverage of Apple's acquisition of Beats Music, a subscription service that is scheduled to be rolled into the itunes platform sometime this year, possibly as soon as next week.
we're going to examine the world of streaming music that is upon us in a series called Streaming At The Tipping Point.
But streaming music has unlocked other new questions for the musician and fan alike: of ownership, of taste and of morality.
What role do listeners play in ensuring the life of music and the livelihood of musicians?
Over digital music's 30-year evolution, from the public introduction of the compact disc in 1981 to the international expansion of Spotify in the last half-decade, the question of whether listeners owned the music they purchased got murkier.
In an earlier era, there was no such question buying a vinyl record meant you could listen to the music until you wore it out,
You weren't buying the music itself when you purchased an album or a song,
In this way, streaming music suggests the passing of two eras: the digital download, but also the concept that fans might possess music itself.
No format lives forever. The LP, the cassette, the CD, the MP3 each one dominated the market for about 15 years before ceding to the next technological advance.
According to the company own literature these devices can provide a field of view as wide as 120 degrees, a critical factor for endoscopy applications.
