Heatwaves: how technology is affected by soaring temperatures
• Heat waves can have a major impact on the lifespan of electronic components, leading to snowballing green-house gas generation when they need to be renewed.
• In Taiwan, some microchip makers have been forced to scale back production to preserve water supplies for the island’s population.
• In datacentres, which need to be kept within temperature limits, new techniques like submerging servers in oil can contribute to energy efficiency.
