Micro-nano engineered surfaces for enhanced heat transfer

The development of new technologies ranging from computers, data centers, medical applications, electric cars and lasers has trigged the need for high heat flux removal technologies. Today it is recognized that manufacturability is not the limiting factor with regards to the small size of the devices, and that the major challenge is how to remove the heat from a confined space, i.e. the power dissipation.
