Have you guys heard of this? A colleague invested in it and I am not physics major - it certainly looks good but I'd love to hear from you experts.

Seems pretty revolutionary for data centers and any other box that needs cooling (imagine this for crypto applications) - but I haven't heard of it. Gimmick or it just hasn't taken off? Looks like they've been in the mix for a few years...

Sounds like a gimmick. Passive cooling relying on convection currents is significantly less powerful than active cooling utilizing fans, let alone chillers.

It uses fans alone - but no water or anything else.

Then it is just a fancy heatsink... and doesn't do anything to solve the fundamental problem datacenters have, which is removing heat from the room.

The molecular beam sounds like a bunch of hokey BS, and the landing page does say server fans aren't needed.
