TetsuoShima Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 The Article The research was originally meant to see to what degree it would be possible to convert 'random energy' into 'controlled motion', but during the course of their research, some smart guy got the idea to use this principle as a 'cooling technique' for CPU's... This could really revolutionise this technological area of expertise. The trick seems simple. Instead of using a smooth surface, the team scored it with a series of skewed triangular grooves. This gives it a kind of saw-tooth profile. Now the water droplets appear to push themselves off the long-slope side of the grooves and rocket across the heated surface - instead of just dancing on the spot as they do in the kitchen pan.
