New cool technology that reduces heat energy loss in machines:

I see a quite a few uses for this specifically because it's made out of cheap material.

This is major news Nevins!!, thanks for posting Energy lost by heat is one of the most aging and difficult problems to solve, I'm glad to see such a solution ignite.

Indeed extremely interesting ! This news is now over 2 years old - I wonder how far they've gone since then!
