New Semiconductor Coolers

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday October 17, 2001 @02:35AM from the now-that's-a-lotta-cooling dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "A new thermoelectric material is 2.4X as efficient as best existing materials. The new solid state heat pumps can provide 700 watts of cooling (nearly one horsepower) with just one square centimeter. These new materials have the potential to replace current heat sinks, thermoelectric generators and mechanical heat pumps. You can also read an article in nature."
