World Premiere: YPlasma to Debut Noiseless Laptop Cooled with DBD Plasma Actuators

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- YPlasma, a pioneer in solid-state thermal management with operations in Newark, NJ and Spain, today announced its participation in CES Las Vegas 2026. Located at Eureka Park, Stand #60845, YPlasma will host the World Premiere of the first-ever application of Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma actuators for consumer electronics cooling—a revolutionary solution designed to replace mechanical fans and traditional ionic wind devices.

As electronics become thinner and AI-driven processing demands more power, traditional cooling methods are reaching their physical limits. YPlasma's solid-state technology addresses these challenges by using cold plasma to generate high-velocity "ionic wind" without a single moving part.

A Breakthrough in Form Factor: The 200-Micron Cooling Film

For the first time, DBD technology has been miniaturized into a form factor that redefines hardware design. YPlasma's actuators are essentially thin films, measuring as little as 200 microns in thickness. This paper-thin profile allows them to be integrated directly onto heat sinks, chassis walls, or internal components, enabling ultra-thin laptop designs that were previously impossible to cool. Furthermore, these actuators are the first in the world capable of producing both cooling and heating within the same device, offering unprecedented thermal versatility.

Live Demonstration: See the Future of Thermal Management

Media, investors, and industry partners are invited to witness the technology in action and meet the leadership team during a dedicated live showcase:

"Unveiling the first laptop cooled with our DBD plasma actuators marks a historic moment — not just for YPlasma, but for the entire electronics industry," said David García Pérez, CEO and Co-Founder of YPlasma. "We're excited to engage with global partners and demonstrate what our technology can achieve."

"The AI era requires a complete rethink of how we manage heat and air," García Pérez continued. "With our engineering teams in Madrid and Newark, we are bringing space-grade technology—packaged in a 200-micron film—to everything from your laptop to the next generation of aircraft."

The YPlasma team attending CES will be led by David García Pérez (CEO & Co-Founder) and José Antonio González Paz (COO & Co-Founder), together with Miguel Ángel Cota (CTO).

Why DBD is the Superior Choice for Laptop Cooling

While many have explored "corona discharge" for ionic cooling, YPlasma's DBD technology represents a fundamental leap forward in safety, reliability, and acoustics:

• Truly Noiseless Operation: Operating at an ultra-quiet 17dBA, YPlasma's system is virtually inaudible to the human ear, eliminating the "fan whine" common in high-performance laptops.
• Ozone-Free Safety: Unlike corona discharge devices, which can produce harmful ozone byproducts, YPlasma's DBD system uses a dielectric barrier to limit discharge, ensuring it is safe for consumer use in enclosed spaces.
• Reliability & Longevity: DBD eliminates "tip erosion," the primary failure point for corona needles. YPlasma's protected electrode design ensures the cooling system lasts the entire lifetime of the device.

Expanding the Frontiers of Plasma Technology

Beyond consumer electronics, YPlasma's DBD technology serves as a versatile platform for several critical industries:

• Active Flow Control: Enhancing aerodynamics for road vehicles, aircraft, and wind turbines to improve fuel efficiency and reduce drag.
• Sanitization: Providing advanced disinfection solutions for agriculture and large-scale HVAC systems.
• Propulsion: Developing next-generation propulsion systems for UAVs and space exploration.
