 Nanoantenna Skin to Cool Computers
How cool does that sound? Researcher Steven Novack with the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory led the team that developed this material that could draw away heat and collect energy. That energy could potentially be channeled to produce power as well. Energy that gets dissipated as heat is often waste energy. Think about all the cooling fans that your home computer has. Have you ever experienced a warm notebook computer on your lap? This new nanoantenna skin material is very flexible, so it could be used essentially anywhere. Can't wait to start harvesting some of that wasted heat energy!
