Georgia Tech is working with the Raytheon Co. on a project that seeks to raise thermal conductivity capabilities to 20,000 watts per meter Kelvin (a measure of thermal-conductivity efficiency). That?s a tall order, considering that the current conductivity champion, for radar applications, is a copper material with performance of approximately 200 to 300 watts per meter Kelvin.

Actually almost anything using either high power electronic switching or high clock rate CPU's will also benefit if they can get the cost low enough.  It could prove to be a critical technology for the next generation of computers.
