A new material could significantly improve cooling of our data centers and make electronics more energy efficient.

The organic thermal interface material ( TIM ) boosts the rate at which heat can be taken away from active electronic components and channeled into a heatsink for air or water to carry away.

The next step is to get the material working on larger systems and in a wider variety of scenarios.
