半导体芯片(尤其是微处理器)的散热问题正日益面临严峻考验。研究人员已经从理论上预测:倘若拿不出理想的解决办法,未来的微处理器内核产生的热量将会与一座梭电站相当。 近日,美国Purdue大学的研究人员声称,他们已找到了利用电暴(electrical storms)的力量来冷却电脑芯片的办法。这项已申请了专利的新技术,最终有望用来研制出一种碳纳米管设备,以获得小闪电和小风暴的方式来冷却电脑芯片运行 The heat dissipation of semiconductor chips (especially microprocessors) is facing increasingly severe challenges. Researchers have theoretically predicted that if no ideal solution is available, the heat generated by the future microprocessor core will be comparable to a shuttle station. Researchers at Purdue University in the United States claimed recently that they have found ways to use the power of electrical storms to cool computer chips. The patented new technology is finally expected to be used to develop a carbon nanotube device to cool the computer chip with small lightning and small storm mode
