This research develops microscopic copper wire "bridges" that improve heat transfer between computer chips and cooling systems. By reducing chip temperatures by around 3°C, the technology can lower data centre cooling energy by approximately 10%, improving efficiency and supporting more sustainable AI infrastructure.

This research addresses overheating in 5G base stations, where vertically mounted electronics create dangerous hotspots. By using passive vapor chamber cooling, heat is efficiently redistributed without added energy use. Experimental and modeling work shows vapor chambers improve reliability and sustainability, supporting faster, more stable 5G and future network infrastructure.
