'THERMAL METAMATERIAL’ INNOVATION COULD HELP BRING WASTE-HEAT HARVESTING TECHNOLOGY TO POWER PLANTS, FACTORIES

An international research team has used a "thermal metamaterial" to control the emission of radiation at high temperatures, an advance that could bring devices able to efficiently harvest waste heat from power plants and factories.

NEW ANTENNA TECH TO EQUIP CERAMIC COATINGS WITH HEAT RADIATION CONTROL

The gas turbines powering aircraft engines rely on ceramic coatings that ensure structural stability at high temperatures. But these coatings don’t control heat radiation, limiting the performance of the engine.
