Flint Engineering is developing a new thermal-transfer mat that can power entire homes and reduce energy consumption.

The mat is a flat aluminum sheet that's got rows of tiny, sealed heat pipe cavities built into it.

It's designed to be 5,000 times more efficient than copper or aluminum alone.

It could be used in data centers, refrigeration and EV charging.
