Scientists have created a way to make a liquid go uphill. They carve patterns into silicon with short, highly-powerful laser bursts causing a liquid to climb to the top of a silicon chip. The water molecules get more attracted to the silicon than to themselves and they rise 3.5cm a second. The process cools down the chips and keep them from melting. For more information, click here.
The usefulness of this discovery will make it so that there are not noisy fans in faster processors. The liquid attracts more heat than air does, making it more efficient. Unfortunately, it is not cost-effective yet but I assume it will be true in the near future. God has certainly blessed us so we can come up with better ways in our technology.
Q3-3
Is this using only one of the methods utilized in capillary action? There are others used by trees also, but this should be the primary part of capillary action. Maybe it could be combined with a dynamic pressure system so the more heat the chips create, the more this heat can be in low pressure zone that sucks in the colder water; which increases the primary surface tension force of the silicon surface.
