Thermal Nanotape Promises Cooler, Healthier Chips

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what's-wrong-with-grease dept.

Blacklaw writes "A team of researchers comprised of members from the Semiconductor Research Corporation and Stanford University has developed a new thermal nanotape which it claims will lead to chips that run cooler and last longer. The thermal nanotape, constructed of binder materials surrounding carbon nanotubes, promises to lead to the creation of semiconductors — including CPUs and GPUs — that don't suffer from the rigors of frequent temperature changes, known as thermal cycling."

    I had a mental picture of a really, really tiny tape dispenser.

    I had a mental picture of healthy potato chips. I should have had breakfast.

    Thermal Nanotape Promises Cooler Chips

    This isn't good. Chips should remain nerdy for maximum performance.
