As the density and performance of electronics continues to increase, thermal challenges have become a primary concern. Removing heat from electronic components can be extremely challenging, given their small size, electrical activity, and mechanical constraints. This necessitates the design of cooling solutions for a wide variety of electronic designs in applications such as datacenters, renewables, aircraft, etc. To address this problem, researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a thermal test vehicle (TTV) for characterizing the performance of electronics cooling solutions under a wide variety of operating conditions. All of the TTV circuitry required to perform measurements and temperature estimations can be included on one printed circuit board (PCB). This represents a simple, highly flexible approach for thermal test vehicle design. The overall size of the array can be scaled to any desired amount. This novel TTV represents a simple, highly flexible approach for thermal test vehicle design. Furthermore, its use of standard commercial electronic components allows for a vast reduction in cost compared to existing commercial solutions.

            Recent advancements in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have underscored the need for novel instrumentation, but current commercial instrumentation only performs well for pre-existing, mainstream applications. Modalities involving, in particular, integrated electron-nuclear spin control, dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), and non-traditional NMR pulse sequences cannot be commercialized without more flexible and capable hardware and software. The current shortcomings may impede innovative NMR methodologies from reaching the market in coming years.            To overcome this challenge, UC Berkeley researchers have developed a novel high-speed, high-memory NMR spectrometer and hyperpolarizer. The device is compact, rack-mountable and cost-effective compared to existing spectrometers. Furthermore, the spectrometer features robust, high-speed NMR transmit and receive functions, synthesizing and receiving signals at the Larmor frequency and up to 2.7GHz. The spectrometer features on-board, phase-sensitive detection and windowed acquisition that can be carried out over extended periods and across millions of pulses. These and additional features are tailored for integrated electron-nuclear spin control and DNP. The invented spectrometer/hyperpolarizer opens up new avenues for NMR pulse control and DNP, including closed-loop feedback control, electron decoupling, 3D spin tracking, and potential applications in quantum sensing.
