Apparently a team of researchers at the University of California, Riverside have made a breakthrough discovery with graphene that could make a huge impact on the way laptops and other electronic devices are cooled.

The results bring graphene – a single-atom thick carbon crystal with unique properties, including superior electrical and heat conductivity, mechanical strength and unique optical absorption – one step closer to being used as a thermal conductor for managing heat dissipation in everything from electronics to photovoltaic solar cells to radars.

I need a heatsink for my laptop made out of this. Damn thing runs HOT!
 
Yeah, my MacPro idles at 50-55 C in native XP on Bootcamp. Running Handbrake is a good way to cook it's brains.

That's 50C with an external fan blowing over it while it sits on a metal stand off the desk.
 
Well, the main breakthrough needs to be how to manufacture it cheaply. Otherwise all the other breakthroughs will not mean much.
