In a new paper, researchers have detailed a brand new way to cool down computer chips. This idea manipulates the speed of photons. Researchers at Stanford University have managed to develop a new way ...

Modern high-performance chips are marvels of engineering, containing tens of billions of transistors. The problem is, you can't use them all at once. If you did, you would create hot spots—high ...

As more devices get piled onto computer chips to increase processing power capacity, heat generation becomes increasingly concentrated. This heat must be removed to keep chip performance high, but is ...

Computer gamers need lots of power, and a new Rochester computer maker thinks it can provide it. Hardcore Computer wants to crack the lucrative gamer market by building a muscular system with an ...

The microchips inside future computers could be chilled by tiny “ionic wind engines” that use an electric current to generate a cooling breeze. Researchers at Purdue University in Indiana, US, are ...
