[Frore Systems](https://www.froresystems.com) has developed a solid-state alternative to a laptop fan. The air flow is generated by a vibrating membrane which resides inside a hollow heatsink. The heatsink is less than 3 mm thick.

Extremetech has an article ([link](https://www.extremetech.com/computing/341252-can-you-double-cpu-performance-by-cooling-it-with-a-chip-instead-of-a-fan)) with some more details.
