New Semiconductor Coolers

Posted by CmdrTaco on 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."

    Sorry to hear about your brain. Perhaps you should get in touch with Tingler, who seems to have the same problem.

    On the other hand, it could be that Tingler is guilty of humor that's even more subtle than atrowe. That wouldn't take much effort.
