Sweating is what we’re talking about, but it’s more involved than adding some water like a potted plant.

Evaporative coolers that work in this way, also known as swamp coolers, haven’t been put into computers before because they are full of sloshy water. Researchers in South Korea and the United States of America have been working on an evaporative cooling system mimicking …read more
