I think there’s a reason this hasn’t been done.

I don’t see any possible issues with salt solutions near metal components. I mean cars drive through salt all the time and it’s not like they rust. The whole in the floorboard of my car is obviously a feature that was time-delay delivered.

I mean you could at least read the article before making a low effort comment.
The design doesn’t put any salt solution near computer components, and it doesn’t use the same salt they put on the roads.
It uses lithium bromide, and given this is about large cloud computing server farms and not PCs, they still use heat sinks on the components, but the salt solution is used in a permeable membrane separately that the heat sinks divert heat to.

I don’t know, I haven’t read the paper or even the article but it stands to reason that the researchers didn’t take into account the common household knowledge that salt equals rust.

Thank you for confirming.
The common household isn’t going to see or give a shit about this article in the first place.

It was admittedly a low effort comment posted exclusively because it made me chuckle. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that make the day worth completing.
