Researchers Stuffing Smartphones with Wax for Better Performance
Your phones’ transistors are overheating and the solution is wax. That’s the latest from researchers at the University of Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania, where “computational sprinting” is bringing wax-stuffed chips to smartphone development.
The concept behind computational sprinting involves using short spurts of energy to perform functions like opening a new window or app. Traditionally, smartphones and computers would use all of the transistors to perform this function in limited, tiny spaces, causing them to overheat.
