Bell Labs Plants Nanograss to Cool Mobile Chips

LoadWB writes "TechWeb has an article about Bell Labs' new liquid cooling technology for mobile processors. The tech, called 'nanograss' is described as 'tiny tubes that spray liquid on chip hot spots.' The use of this cooling technology reduces the power required to actively remove heat from mobile processors. Other applications are possible, but it seems it was primarily developed for use with mobile CPUs."

    I think the "in diameter" was implied by the fact that the sentence structure was parralleling the previous sentence . If Item A is several hundred microns in diameter, and Item B is 100 microns, I think it's safe to say (unless we're being tested on logic here) that Item B is 100 microns in diameter.

    You're overreacting.
