It doesn’t roll off the tongue the way YInMn does, but it’s just as interesting…and potentially worth much more.

Water holds a lot of heat,if this stuff is 200X that is truly incredible.

Thermal … micro-mechanical … storage as opposed to how concentrating thermal solar can store heat via the working fluid in super-insulated tanks - at decidedly hazardous temperature levels. An even more interesting party trick would be if you could capture the heat at relatively low temperatures over time then release a burst of it at much higher levels at a convenient time (joules out < joules in, natch).
This could poossibly do really interesting things with that scourge of industry - waste heat.
