New 'Near-field' Radiation Therapy Promises Relief For Overheating Laptops

Researchers have developed a way to release heat trapped inside billions of tiny semiconductor electronic circuits and channel it into the substrate, which is larger and can be more easily cooled. Their method exploits the electron scattering that occurs in non-suspended carbon nanotube transistors. This scattering causes a wave, or surface polariton, which is particularly strong in the near field zone above the substrate.
