An international team of researchers has found that a thin coating of MXene -- a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial -- could enhance a material's ability to trap or shed heat. The discovery, which ...

Penn State researchers broke Kirchhoff's law with a novel metamaterial. Material emits heat one-way, allowing nonreciprocal thermal radiation. Discovery may enhance solar energy, infrared sensing, and ...

Leipzig. Over the next few years, climate researchers from Germany aim to achieve a breakthrough in the radiative properties of clouds by describing the corresponding processes not just ...

A virtually unhackable communication system hides data transmission within natural heat radiation, a new study has shown.

Here on Earth, there are ever-present concerns related to the presence of radiation. Some have worried that we may be exposing ourselves to radiation from our many electronics, though thankfully, the ...
