Article: Tiny Pump Cools Chips
http://www.technologyreview.com/read...81&ch=infotech
Researchers have built a tiny silicon-based device that can effectively chill a surface, providing a novel, more effective way to cool microchips. The new device, designed and fabricated by engineers at Intel, the University of Washington in Seattle, and Belmont, MA-based Kronos Advanced Technologies, uses ionized air and an electric field to cool the surface. Computers are heating up with each new generation of chips, as more and more heat-producing transistors are crammed onto them. Indeed, experts say that by the end of this decade, the classic cooling solution--using metal heat sinks to draw heat away from chips, and a rotary fan to cool the heat sinks and push the hot air out of computers--will no longer be good enough.
