Scientists from the IBM Zurich Research Lab and the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin are working on a microchip that uses micropipes of water to cool itself.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have designed chips that use 30,000 times less power in sleep mode and 10 per cent less in active mode than comparable processors, putting an end to overweight battery syndrome.
It can seem hard to believe that a company with all the resources of Microsoft can make make a billion-dollar mistake with a small chip-design fault. Yet chip design is not an exact science and Rupert Goodwins, who has been there himself, details how it can go horribly wrong.

Hewlett-Packard has released its final Alpha processor, the beginning of the end for a chip dynasty that never was.
Would you avoid buying a PC with an Advanced Micro Devices chip inside because it wouldn't let you host an Internet conference call with six of your friends?
Speed isn't a measure of speed. That's Intel's message with its new naming scheme for its mobile CPUs.
The memory company branches out of chip design by developing an interconnect technology, dubbed Redwood, that it says does the same job as Hypertransport or Rapid I/O--only faster.
The consumer electronics maker announced its latest handhelds, which include built-in wireless capabilities and a slew of new components made in-house.
The chipmaker will help notebook owners tighten the security of their personal data by incorporating into its Crusoe line features that protect sensitive information.
