Could this one day cool your computer?

Why do people think this is an immediate application, it literally says in the title: ONE DAY.

 

This topic meant: maybe some day, not let me get my calculator out and test the probability my computer wife, Karen will leave me.

The laws of physics are fixed.

Well I'm a graduate program, but I'm only through it at the Bachelor level, going to have an equivalent of a master's degree in two years, so we have done the same thing that you did I guess

It isn't complicated but it's lights ahead high school basic classes

(My expertise is weird since it is knowing things on every field)

 

Oh yeah like hardware designer (vlsi design etc) have no expertise in material science?

Good luck on the PhD then

Well high school quality classes vary quite a bit in America, and I can say mine for example was much MUCH more rigorous than the equivalent college course (also the AP program is supposedly a college level HS course anyways). For example, my HS chemistry course was so much more advanced than our supposedly challenging intro chem course (a version that was two semesters condensed into one) even though I went to a grand total of 1 class, and didn't even open my book once for studying or otherwise, I got a 98.5 on the final exam (and got exactly a 90 on all three midterms even though the averages were 85 then 63 then 72). I remember quite clearly because I have friends in my field who I met in the class and it's a constant jab between us.

 

I'd say it depends a bit, but more often than not materials knowledge is the biggest fallthrough (they may know for example the difficulty and importance of extracting Hafnium from Zirconium alloy, but they are unlikely to know much about the strength issues of austenitic steels over 500 degrees Celsius).

Well not everyone come from the same places so you kinda have to do it.

It's like when foreigners come to my school they suck dick in maths courses but people like me pass those easily, because we had a stronger background

In the end, they had their advantages in algorithmic courses or mechanics or whatever

Okay, that's what I feared!

Nice.
But, maybe in future we won't even need cooling for with new materials.

[Little Bear]

Wow you guys seriously did not get it. You are right that it wouldn't be practical in the current day, but in the future there is always room for advancement you COULD NOT expect or understand before it was done. Of course thermodynamics, quantum physics, and whatever the hell else don't think this is a good idea, but that has never stopped us.

[spartaman64]

so this is going to be like liquid nitrogen and about as practical as liquid nitrogen. and would become practical as soon as liquid nitrogen is practical

Could this thread be closed please. I am tired of being linked back to it.

I don't think there is a need for better cooling since CPUs and GPUs get more and more efficient every year.
