Japan built a ‘human refrigerator’ that cools your body in just 5 minutes, and it could transform how workers beat extreme heat

Japan's summers have grown severe enough that the government recently coined new terminology just to describe days when temperatures climb past 40 degrees Celsius. The urgency isn't abstract: in Tokyo alone, 48 people were hospitalized for heatstroke on July 15 this year. Construction crews, factory floor staff, warehouse handlers, and event workers can't simply step into an air-conditioned office, so for them that heat is a daily occupational hazard rather than an inconvenience.
