Cooling a membrane is not the same as dissipating 200w of heat. I'm unsure of how this works based on the research announcement.

the thermal energy extracted from chips can be emitted as usable photons

Will our most advanced chips soon glow like old-school vacuum tubes??

Way too expensive with the required rare earths. Just go immersion. There are clever ways to repurpose that heat too.

At least mention the basic physical principal involvement.

Finally, someone is finally trying to re-use the heat from the most inefficient thing on the planet. All they really need to do is miniaturize the steam turbine since most CPU's now run hot enough to boil water!
