Coating helps electronics stay cool by sweating
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

Mammals sweat to regulate body temperature, and researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China are exploring whether our phones could do the same. In a study published January 22 in the journal Joule, the authors present a coating for electronics that releases water vapor to dissipate heat from running devices-a new thermal management method that could prevent electronics from overheating and keep them cooler compared to existing strategies.
