Timothy Fisher and Suresh Garimella (IMAGE) Purdue University Caption Purdue mechanical engineers Timothy Fisher, at right, and Suresh Garimella, hold a silicon wafer containing experimental "ionic wind engines" being developed to cool computer chips. In research funded by Intel Corp., the engineers have demonstrated how the new technology might dramatically improve computer chip cooling for laptops and consumer electronics. Fisher and Garimella, both in Purdue's School of Mechanical Engineering, are using the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition equipment shown here to make the devices sturdy enough for the rigors of everyday use in commercial products.
