Apparently Beryllium Oxide has excellent thermal conductivity. Mix it with a little grease. and slather it between your Heat-sink and your Power
Transistor.

I have worked in electronics almost 50 years ago but I have never seen a tube of heat sink compound that contained beryllium oxide and never saw an
advert for any either.
I briefly worked in one factory where they assembled power supplies that contained a power transistor insulated by an anodised sheet of aluminium. It
was a common belief among the assembly workers that the sheet contained poisonous beryllium because of its grey color.

I don't know who invented mRNA vaccines but they should get a fancy medal and I hope they made a shed load of money from it.
