Enhancing liquid structure at soft-solid interfaces significantly improves heat dissipation in microelectronics. Applying pressure controls this liquid structuring, boosting interfacial thermal conductance for better heat transfer.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Thermal Engineering
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Overheating in three-dimensional microelectronics limits integrated circuit performance.
  • Efficient heat dissipation requires understanding heat transfer across soft-solid interfaces.
