This is great news for data centers, I guess.

"close to room temperature" is said a bunch in the article, but they never say how close.

The actual paper says 280 K in the abstract, which is about 7°C or 44°F. How hard would that have been to mention?

So even before refining it, this is freezer temp and not liquid nitrogen temp like I was expecting from them avoiding the answer.

"Rare material" references the fact that it's a magnetoelectric which is a rare category of materials, not how difficult it is to get or produce. In fact, it's made of common metals.

Strontium and manganese

That's actually not very nice, you are making the Strontium sad
