They use wicking in heatpipes now, the texture inside the pipe. Also, these things are very efficient in transferring heat to some other place (fins). gravity has little to no affect on heatpipes now.
Why do you think this is SO complicated? Heatsink design is trucky yes, but the basic understanding of heat transfer is simple.
