scientists Steve Choi and Jeff Eastman at Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Ill., have created a next-generation fluid that dramatically improves fluid heat transfer by dint of manipulating atoms on the nanoscale. by dint of adding tiny, spherical particles of cent no larger than a not many nanometers to a conventional fluid, researchers can improve its ability to transfer heat through up to 40%.
