Vacuum conditions, radiation, and electrical interference can compromise performance, requiring material and design ...

The researchers then used LBSO to fabricate a thermal emitter based on this multilayer structure with high spectral selectivity in the infrared band. Without the need for additional precautions to ...

This diagram illustrates the effects of applying LBSO thermal emitter to TPV technology. In the case of a typical blackbody, when it absorbs heat, it emits radiant energy over a very broad wavelength ...

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 ...

A research team from Penn State has broken a 165-year-old law of thermal radiation with unprecedented strength, setting the stage for more efficient energy harvesting, heat transfer and infrared ...

A thermal metasurface is made of a single layer of nanostructured silicon (gray) on top of glass (blue) and a metal mirror (gold). The nanostructured surface is specifically tailored so that it ...

In this first of a new Wildtech series on “What is that technology?” we explore thermal imaging and its applications for wildlife. Thermography, or thermal imaging, detects infrared radiation to help ...

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 ...
