You don't understand the difference btw a research paper and a product launch. A paper is to provide inspiration. In this case, a high ZT p-type crystal may indicate a new mechanism that can be applied to searching / designing new thermoelectric materials. It's not for selling you a working device that can be put in your shopping cart.

(I did research in nano thermoelectrics and published a few papers in this field)

In defense of parent though it does not say “can” or “will” convert. News and views should have reflected that so it’s really not the fault of the original paper authors.
