Ferveret’s cooling system submerges computer servers in a specialized liquid that absorbs heat much more efficiently than air from a fan. What makes the solution different from other liquid cooling systems are smaller bubbles at the surface of the server, which detach more frequently, accelerating the heat transfer process.

In these images of human esophageal tissue, green staining shows E-cadherin, a protein involved in maintaining connections between epithelial cells. In untreated tissue (top row), the E-cadherin signal is strong, reflecting an intact epithelial barrier. After treatment with a gel-like drug formulation (bottom row), the E-cadherin signal is reduced, suggesting a temporary loosening of cell–cell junctions.
