Scientists Finally Invent Heat-Controlling Circuitry That Keeps Electronics Cool

A new thermal transistor can control heat as precisely as an electrical transistor can control electricity

www.scientificamerican.com

Apparently the unit can control the flow of waste heat in a manner the parallels the way transistor control the flow of current. This could, according to the article, greatly faciitate the implementation of stacked chips.
