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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Suitable monitoring and control of process temperatures require exceptional guidance by the producer or a basic understanding of the measurement techniques required on the part of the customer.

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 ...
