Study shows particle collisions may explain overheated circuits, improve thermoelectric devices

Thursday, October 13, 2016 - 06:02 in Physics & Chemistry

In the coming years, as more transistors are packed into ever smaller areas within computer chips, MIT engineers say cellphones, laptops, and other electronic devices may face a higher risk of overheating, as a result of interactions between electrons and heat-carrying particles called phonons.
