    Fuck Science for paywalling research. May they rot in hell.

    The article implies they are using electric charge to bring the ions into and out of solution to trigger melting and recrystalization. Does anyone have actual details about the process?

    Also, is this paper saying it has a COP of 0.3? That’s terrible compared to typical evaporative refrigeration.
