Cool!
So, if we get some coasters made of these, (a hot side and a cold side),
and we set
a mug of our favorite beverage on it, where do the B?nard cells form?
Spacecraft could get a lot easier to design as a result of this. And I
can at last get
rid of that stupid fan in the laptop.
Don't get any on ya, though....
