You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...
A Penn State team has shattered Kirchhoff’s 165-year-old law of thermal radiation. Their engineered metamaterial emits more ...
Normally, an object in thermal equilibrium with its environment emits and absorbs thermal radiation at the same rate (left). But researchers have developed a multilayer material (right) that, when ...
This novel terahertz microscope from MIT enables the observation of superconducting electron dynamics, crucial for future ...
The ability to detect infrared radiation is the basis of any infrared thermal imaging technology. All objects emit infrared radiation as a function of their temperature; the detection of such ...
Long-wave infrared (LWIR) microbolometers are essential for thermal imaging in harsh environments, yet their performance typically degrades at ...
With today's data rates of only a few hundred megabytes per second, access to digital information remains relatively slow. Initial experiments have already shown a promising new strategy: Magnetic ...
An international team of researchers, led by Drexel University, has found that a thin coating of MXene — a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial discovered and studied at Drexel for more than a decade ...
