Holy cow. The engineers used copper instead of diamond.

. Needless, to say that when that happens, it becomes dangerous both for the device and its surroundings.

Third, explained Gebrael, heat spreaders can't be installed directly on the surface of the electronics. They require a layer of"thermal interface material" to be placed between them to ensure good contact. This material, however, has poor heat transfer characteristics resulting in a negative impact on thermal performance.Luckily, the researchers have come up with a new solution that addresses all three of those problems.

The removal of the heat sink and thermal interface also guarantees that the device using the new solution is dramatically smaller than its conventional counterparts."And this translates to much higher power per unit volume. We were able to demonstrate a 740 percent increase in the power per unit volume," added Gebrael.reached out to Gebrael to find out why he chose copper as a replacement material.

Amazing innovation.

This is YUGE!!!!

What happened ?

unfollowed. I will never give into restricting ad blockers.

Now they've discovered which is not new and common in all PCs

Lol !

made of diamonds which are obviously very expensive Why should that be expensive? Diamonds (I.E. Industrial Diamonds) are actually very cheap...

Amazing concept, every child knows this, and it takes the high tech industry 50 years to realize something this trivial ?

Interesting for sure; stability of the coating under nominal conditions would be my first question.

Sweet!!

Bet someone dipped the circuit in copper after having fries and sauce.

Yes who would have thought copper would be a good thermal conductor. Other than anyone who's ever taken 6th grade science?
