NC State researcher finds more efficient way to cool devices, looks to cut costs too

Does your electronic device have you a bit hot under the collar these days. A researcher at NC State has developed a faster and less expensive method for cooling gadgets - especially those that tend to crank the heat up. Dr. Jag Kasichainula, an Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, authored a paper on the research that implements a "heat spreader' composed of a copper-graphene composite and an indium-graphene interface film to cool devices.
