Feeling the heat: a new approach to controlling heat flow in crystals
#UTokyo_IIS find that a 100-year-old method for redirecting water can be used to control heat dissipation in electronics.
Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, have developed a method to control the direction of heat flow in crystals. This miniature device could eventually be used to create advanced thermal-management systems in electronic devices to prevent overheating.
