I’m just tempering the headline, not throwing doubt at the research and development possibilities.
I got excited about the headline, thinking they’d experimentally achieved ore-melting temperatures with a heat pump (“Ultra-hot heatpump breakthrough paves the way […]”).
I guess I perceive 270°C as below the threshold of “ultra hot”.
Later in the article it’s revealed that the breakthrough experiment is paving the way to the (as yet unrealised) ultra-hot (“Luo summarised various research fronts […] promising pathways towards the realisation of ultra-high-temperature heat pumps.”)
Still – 270°C! Commercial/domestic baking ovens when?
Do you know what the phrase “pave the way” means
