New Material Could Act As Nanofridge For Microchips In Smaller And Faster Computers

ScienceDaily (Oct. 9, 2008) — Researchers in Spain have developed a material which could act as a nanofridge for computers, thus eliminating the barrier posed by overheating in ever smaller chips. The material is based on germanium nanostructures, presents a significant reduction in thermal conductivity and therefore could be a potential candidate in the development of thermoelectric systems compatible with silicon.
