Heat-Conducting Carbon Foam

anvilmark writes "ABCNews has an article about a new carbon based thermal conducting foam. Very pricey to produce but has 4-5 times the efficiency of copper at 1/5th the weight of aluminum. ORNL technical documentation available here and here. Sounds like the perfect heat sink shim to me."

    I need this where I work, everyone else turns the heat up so high I feel like I am melting. If a had a 'cool' carbon jumpsuit I would be so comfortable.

    >> I am utterly amazed...That so many posters confuse a heat conductor with a heat pump.

    I learned it by watching Star Trek, the one where Scotty makes transparent aluminum. Did Scotty make this newfangled foam gizmo too?
