microfluidic cooling

Microsoft’s demonstration this week of microfluidic cooling — tiny liquid channels etched directly into silicon to carry coolant where the heat is generated — represents one of the clearest and most practical moves yet to tackle the runaway thermal problem at the heart of modern AI datacenters...

Microsoft’s lab breakthrough in microfluidic cooling — etching microscopic coolant channels straight into the silicon and using AI to route fluid like leaf veins — promises to remove heat from AI chips up to three times more effectively than today’s best cold-plate systems and, in early tests...

Microsoft’s latest lab demos show microfluidics — routing liquid through microscopic channels etched into silicon — moving from academic curiosity toward practical tooling for the next generation of AI hardware, a test that promises to reduce cooling overhead, enable higher chip density, and...
