Researchers developing "icebox" for the PC.(TRENDS: TECH NEWS)(Brief article)
Move over, liquid cooling. There's a new way to chill your computer-and it's inspired by the icebox in your kitchen.
Purdue University researchers are working on a miniature refrigeration system small enough to fit inside PCs (including laptops) and able to provide far superior cooling than current solutions. Like the large refrigerators we use to store our food, this system features compressors and evaporators-except that these are microscopic.
In the researchers' approach, coolants were pumped through the compressors using electrical charges, and then vaporized in the evaporators. The researchers were able to keep the CPU cool by controlling the rate at which ...
