Imaging if this technology could cool a data centre.

Edit: I was not involved in this project. You are wasting your time asking me questions.

no power efficiency metrics? iirc one of the bigger issues of elastocalorics was the power efficiency

Is this it?

The device demonstrated a specific cooling power of up to 1.43W g-1 under zero-temperature-lift conditions. In addition, the system’s coefficient of performance can reach 3.4 under ideal work-recovery assumption, highlighting its potential energy efficiency.
