“We are honored to receive this recognition from AutoTech Breakthrough. As electric motors push toward higher power density, getting coolant to the hottest regions of the motor has become a defining thermal challenge and the issue is further magnified by warm geographic regions and hot seasons. Capillary-Driven Cooling addresses that challenge at its source, using passive capillary forces to deliver coolant where it is needed most, and it reflects the depth of Adeia’s engineering and our commitment to foundational innovations that help our customers build more powerful and efficient products,”
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA), the technology company pioneering foundational innovations that shape how the world computes, connects and experiences entertainment, today announced it has won the 2026 AutoTech Breakthrough Award for Overall Electric Vehicle Innovation of the Year. The award, presented by AutoTech Breakthrough, recognizes Adeia’s Capillary-Driven Cooling technology.
As electric vehicle powertrains evolve, thermal management has become a critical factor in motor performance, efficiency and power density. In densely packed motor windings, thermal performance is increasingly limited by the ability to deliver liquid coolant to the highest heat-flux regions, rather than by the coolant’s capacity to absorb heat.
