A new technical paper titled “Gate-Tunable Ionothermoelectric Cooling in a Solid-State Nanopore” was published by researchers at the University of Osaka, the University of Tokyo, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology et al.
The paper states:
“Efficient heat dissipation at the nanoscale remains a major challenge for high-performance microelectronics. Here, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept approach for ionothermoelectric cooling, the ionic analogue of the Peltier effect, using gate-tunable solid-state nanopores integrated with nanoscale thermocouples.”
