Ha, why was this downvoted? Sketchy website "reports" proprietary Chinese research firm's accomplishment by rehashing the firm's press release about an unbelievable claim with no other evidence. This got more red flags than the beach before a hurricane.
At best, this is something they actually did approximate in some kind of lab setting that might be years and years away from being some kind of marketable product.
The (translated) press release even has a stench all on its own:
FYI thecooldown.com is a solid site with consistently good info.
I haven't dug into this particular story though.
