I realize this, but ther isnt much we can improve in radiator design at the moment. Besides the average user cannot build a radiator and a radiator can always be adapted for brute force cooling. I guarentee I can design a plastic tubed radiator with plastic fins that can beat a heatercore, it would just take up a lot more room and have a lot more air going through it.

Also, there is a distinct difference between coming up with a brand new design for something and just changing around the materials a little bit. Using better materals to improve performance imposes a natural limit to what can be achieved from a certain design. It is changing the design that produces better results.

An all silver maze 1 would be stomped on by a cascade, even if the cascade had an aluminum base.

I dont see anyone creating a new style radiator. When someone does, that is when it is time to split hairs.
