A Minnesota-based startup is developing a revolutionary approach to chip cooling using laser technology. The system converts heat directly into light, targeting hot spots with precision that could eliminate current thermal limitations.
A groundbreaking approach to chip cooling that uses lasers to convert heat into light is being developed by Minnesota-based startup Maxwell Labs, according to reports. The technology, called photonic cooling, represents a fundamental shift from traditional cooling methods that simply move heat away from chips. Sources indicate this could potentially solve the persistent problem of dark silicon, where up to 80% of transistors on modern chips must remain inactive to prevent overheating.
