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 ...

A team of engineers and material scientists in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU Boulder has developed a new technology to turn thermal radiation into electricity in a way ...

A team of scientists has solved a long-standing problem in thermal imaging, making it possible to capture clear images of objects through hot windows. A team of Rice University scientists has solved a ...

This year has already seen massive heatwaves around the globe, with cities in Mexico, India, Pakistan and Oman hitting temperatures near or past 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius). As global ...

Full-scale structure fabric across 0.3-25 μm was fabricated for enhanced sunlight reflectance (94%) and reduced mid-infrared reflectance (6%). Transmission (25%) and emission (81%) characteristics for ...

A new method to measure the continuous spectrum of light is set to improve thermal imaging and infrared thermography. A new method to measure the continuous spectrum of light, developed in the lab of ...
