Researcher Creates Cheap, More Efficient Graphene-Based Cooling Method

[Brink]

A handful of technological quandaries are keeping our small, yet powerful gadgets from becoming even smaller and powerful; one of those issues -- as any iPad or Asus Transformer Prime owner can tell you -- is heat dissipation. The copper technology found in most modern day doo-dads just ain't cutting it anymore. Fortunately, an NC State researcher has devised a new way to cool down hot electronics 25 percent faster than existing technology -- and at a lower price, to boot.

That's great this will allow for a advancement in technology in mobile devices with stronger hardware that would usually not be capable to run because of heat problems
