HADAR night vision tech enables robots and cars to see textures, distances, and materials in complete darkness, just like daytime cameras.

Thermal Image of Wabash River (left), near Purdue University's campus. Most conventional objects show weak to zero circular polarization in the emitted heat signal. By using metasurfaces (right) made ...

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 ...

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 ...
