• The little chill: tiny wind generator to cool microchip hot spots

  - 2006-11-11

  Technologists cramming more and more transistors onto microchips face a common problem: too much heat. To make computers chill, manufacturers typically outfit hot chips with heat sinks, whose fins release heat into a stream of air. Now, a team of university, and industrial engineers has created a prototype, microscale...
