Coverage from Thaihut.org, Sophiabistro.com, and others

Recent coverage reports a Chinese Academy of Sciences prototype that uses sound waves rather than mechanical compressors to upgrade industrial waste heat to about 270 C.

The main signal is early-stage industrial heat-pump research aimed at cleaner process heat, with economics, durability, and scale-up still unproven.
