Fridge for micro-electronics

A Stanford physics professor has invented and developed a microminiature refrigerator to keep the new generation of micro-electronic devices cool. Further advances in this technology may permit commercial use of superconductors.

The device is a gas refrigerator constructed of parts as small as 3.1 cm x 0.6 cm x 0.1 cm using standard semiconductor manufacturing techniques.
