How cool (hehe) is this?
Solid-state, microchip-sized fan promises to cool laptops
The compact, solid-state fan, developed with support from NSF’s Small Business Innovation Research program, is the most powerful and energy efficient fan of its size. It produces three times the flow rate of a typical small mechanical fan and is one-fourth the size.

“The RSD5 is one of the most significant advancements in electronics cooling since heat pipes.”
…
“The technology has the power to cool a 25-watt chip with a device smaller than 1 cubic-cm and can someday be integrated into silicon to make self-cooling chips,” said Schlitz.”
Wow. Completely silent computers. Even lower power consumption. No moving parts to break down.
