“Test Drive” an illumin8 search

Thanks to Moore’s law, the remarkable evolution of digital technology continues at a rapid pace. However, the faster processors get, the more heat they give off (ever put your hand on the side of your laptop? There’s a nice, very noticeable stream of warm air coming through the louvered opening). This problem of heat dissipation is a threat to the continued advancement of microprocessor technology and is a very active area of reseach. Here is a simple search I did on “chip cooling”. You can see a very rich result set, comprising relatively unknown start-up companies (Nuventix), novel technical solutions (“ionic wind engine”), a list of prominent experts, innovators and more.
