From the actual paper ( https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adu8349 ):

"All measurements were performed at 20° ± 0.2°C maintained by an air circulation system unless otherwise noted. The temperature of the films was controlled using a heating/cooling unit (THMS350V, Linkam Scientific Instruments, Salfords, UK) when necessary."

So the latent heat is conducted away by the cooling apparatus, it's just not explicitly stated, to sound more sensational.
