New Chip-Cooling Technology Promises a Revolution.
Ionic Winds for Locally Enhanced Cooling

The Purdue University researchers, in work funded by Intel, have shown that the technology increased the "heat-transfer coefficient," which describes the cooling rate, by as much as 250 percent. Other experimental technologies that may be applied to cool down future chips promise only 40%-50% cooling efficiency improvement. When used in combination with a conventional fan, the experimental device enhanced the fan's effectiveness by increasing airflow to the surface of a mock computer chip. The new technology could help engineers design thinner laptop computers that run cooler than today's machines.
