Acer unveils Predator Triton 14 AI laptop with graphene cooling tech

PC maker Acer has released multiple announcements about new and upcoming AI-powered laptops, desktops, earbuds, and smart rings. Among these, the Company unveiled a slim Predator Triton 14 AI gaming laptop which Acer called 'the industry's first laptop with graphene thermal interface materials (TIM) in the CPU to help keep it cool'. A similarly appointed laptop, the Predator Helios Neo 14 AI will also be available, along with a Predator Orion 3000 gaming desktop that houses a INtel Core Ultra 7 processor and the same GPU as the two laptops.

The Predator Triton 14 AI is aimed at creators, professionals, and gamers who need substantial power in a lightweight build. What is known about the graphene thermal interface material on the CPU is that it is said to deliver 14.5% better heat dissipation compared to standard thermal grease. Dual 6th Gen AeroBlade metal fans and a vapor chamber further improve cooling.

Graphene-enhanced zinc-ion batteries as a safe, scalable, and high-performance energy storage solution

Zinc-ion batteries based on water-based electrolytes are inherently safe, environmentally friendly, and economically viable. They also mitigate fire risks and thermal runaway issues associated with their lithium-based counterparts, which makes them lucrative for grid-scale energy storage. Furthermore, zinc has high capacity, low cost, ample abundance, and low toxicity. Unfortunately, current collectors utilized in zinc-ion batteries, such as graphite foil, are difficult to scale up and suffer from relatively poor mechanical properties, limiting their industrial use.

In a new study, a team of researchers from the Republic of Korea, led by Associate Professor Geon-Hyoung An at the Department of Energy and Materials Engineering at Dongguk University, has proposed graphene-coated stainless steel foil as a novel alternative current collector.

Archer extends partnership with Queen Mary University of London to advance qubit development

Archer Materials, a semiconductor company advancing the quantum technology and medical diagnostics industries, has extended its relationship with Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) to build on critical milestone work for qubit demonstration, as part of Archer’s quantum technology program. The cost of the six month extension is estimated at around A$279,000 or £136,000.

Work already completed with QMUL has reportedly been a key part of Archer’s development program. The work being done with QMUL, combined with
Archer’s demonstration of coupling of spins to superconducting resonator micro-devices, provides the first building blocks for both readout and control of the electron spins in a qubit. Archer has introduced the CQ chip and in working with QMUL, it is improving the functionality of this project by using graphene to make electrical contact with the carbon nanosphere spin material.
