Dynamic nanofin heat sinks

TL;DR: In this article, a magnetophoretically formed high aspect ratio nano-nodes are used for hot-spot cooling in microfluidic environments, which can be dynamically chained and docked onto the hot spots to establish tuneable high-aspect ratio nanofins for the heat exchange between these hot spots and the liquid coolant.

Heat transfer enhancement by magnetic nanofluids—A review

TL;DR: Magnetic nanofluids (MNFs) constitute a special class of materials that exhibit both magnetic and fluid properties as discussed by the authors, and the interest in the use of MNFs as a heat transfer medium stem from a possibility of controlling its flow and heat transfer process via an external magnetic field.

Anomalously increased effective thermal conductivities of ethylene glycol-based nanofluids containing copper nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a "nanofluid" consisting of copper nanometer-sized particles dispersed in ethylene glycol has a much higher effective thermal conductivity than either pure or pure glycol or even polyethylene glycol containing the same volume fraction of dispersed oxide nanoparticles.
