Carbon Nanotube Cooler

Caption: Red graph lines show the temperature of a bare chip as increased power is applied, while blue lines show the reduced temperatures of a chip equipped with a carbon nanotube cooling structure (pictured in the background). Solid and dashed lines represent experimental and computational results, respectively. Both natural and forced convection conditions are noted.
