Nanofluid could cool tiny electronic devices
Researchers in India have shown that the thermal properties of a magnetic nanofluid can be tuned by applying a magnetic field. The effect comes thanks to the magnetic particles lining up in chains when the field is applied. The nanofluid, which is made from a colloidal suspension of magnetite nanoparticles, could find use in a variety of technology applications, including "smart" cooling devices.
