Interesting article on new technologies being considered to cool future advanced computer chips. Several universities, lead by Purdue, as well as industry leaders, are collaborating on a center to study these problems. Said Suresh Garimella, a professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University. "Future computer chips will generate as much as 10 times more heat than today's computer chips, which means we are going to need new cooling technologies." Some of the proposed innovations include miniature temperature sensors, smart power distribution systems and tiny pumps to circulate cooling liquids.
