A non-conductive heat sink for power electronics, LEDs, etc.
It has real uses, not just a gee-whiz factor for nerds.
Sounds interesting. As you point out - IF (big “IF” there) it works out in practice, there could be a lot of applications.
(But the “science” was settled” wasn’t it? “Everybody” agrees on the “scientific consensus” involved, right? Where have we heard that recently?)
Apparently.
Maybe internal combustion engines - get the heat from where you don't want it to where you might want it. Put the waste heat to work.
