US Patent Issued to Northeastern University on Oct. 28 for "Printed micro and nanostructured arrays for thermal management of electronic devices" (Massachusetts Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,456,659, issued on Oct. 28, was assigned to Northeastern University (Boston).

"Printed micro and nanostructured arrays for thermal management of electronic devices" was invented by Anthony Childress (Boston) and Ahmed Busnaina (Needham, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods for cooling integrated circuits and other chop-based electronic devices use plasmonic absorption and emission of near infrared (NIR) radiation. Nanostructure arrays tuned to appropriate infrared wavelengths emit NIR from a hot chip substrate to other nanostructure arrays at the chip outer package, which absorb the NIR and transmit it away from the p...
