Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices is a sign or cause of inefficient performance. In many cases, embedded sensors to monitor the flow of heat could help engineers alter device behavior ...

Researchers at Osaka Prefecture University (OPU, Japan) have developed the first prototype of macroscale, thin-film-based flexible thermal flow sensor array that can observe the flow distribution over ...

Japanese researchers have taken a step which might lead to flexible thin-film heat flow sensors – sensors that can be built into a heat path. Heat flow, analogous to current flow, is generally ...
