Research abstract
Founded in 2019, Maxwell Labs has combined materials science with state-of-the-art machine learning technology to deploy an entirely new class of intelligent cooling solutions. The company product portfolio includes Radiative Cooling Coatings, Radiative Heatsinks, and Thermal Compounds. Current product applications are focused on effective and sustainable cooling technologies in the computing and microchip industry, particularly for High Performance Computing (HPC), data center, and AI applications. With this project, Maxwell Labs is offering a new generation of thermal coatings based on its proprietary Radiative Cooling Coatings (RCC) Series products. Maxwell Labs’ RCC products are coatings specialized to simultaneously insulate and dissipate heat from any surface, i.e., they can be applied to most stone, metallic, ceramic, brick, asphalt, and concrete surfaces to increase its insulative or infrared thermal radiation characteristics. The principal objective is to prove the technical-commercial feasibility of the applicability of RCC in stealth applications under different military materials and equipment (e.g., computer components, aluminum landing gears, wing ribs, etc.).
