Metamaterial Breaks Thermal Symmetry, Enables One-Way Heat Emission
Scientists have created a groundbreaking metamaterial that breaks Kirchhoff’s law by emitting 43% more mid-infrared radiation in one direction than it absorbs. Built from layered InGaAs and tested at 512°F with a 5T magnetic field, the structure exhibits record thermal nonreciprocity. This breakthrough enables controlled one-way heat flow, a ste...
