Thermal Transistors Handle Heat With No Moving Parts The technology offers a new way to cool down chips quickly
Doing okay until they got to this part:
“It will be interesting to see if thermal engineers can find ways to integrate these molecular thermal switches into switchable thermal-management systems for electronics or batteries.”
While this proof of concept is promising, the UCLA researchers acknowledge that the technology is still early in its development. Going forward, Hu says they aim to further improve the device’s performance.
