Technology is more powerful than it has ever been, yet that strength comes with a cost, i.e., heat. When phones, computers, and other electronic devices work excessively for a prolonged time, they become overheated. It has been a stumbling block to innovation for decades. This long-term challenge can now be addressed with nanotechnology. Mahmoud Hussein, a theorist and professor at CU Boulder’s Aerospace Engineering program, lauded the invention. He said, “In a way, it’s a very timely discovery. If you look at the state of industry right now, the key is going smaller and smaller, and this discovery is all about that.”
Margaret Murnane, a physicist at JILA, which is a collaborative research organization between the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, spoke about the present technologies’ inability to.
