Radiative cooling is a ubiquitous passive process that uses photon heat flow to carry away
energy and entropy. Radiative cooling processes have been studied in the scientific …

Radiative cooling, a technology that lowers the temperature of terrestrial objects by
dissipating heat into outer space, presents a promising ecologically‐benign solution for …

Controlling emission and absorption, and radiative heat transfer, is important for photonic
energy conversion and thermal management. However, the reciprocal emission and …

The ability to control thermal radiation is of fundamental importance for a wide range of
applications. Nanophotonic structures, where at least one of the structural features are at a …

Radiative sky cooling reduces the temperature of a system by promoting heat exchange with
the sky; its key advantage is that no input energy is required. We will review the origins of …

Right after the first edition was published in 2007, I was invited to give seminars at a number
of universities in several countries. At that time, many people considered nanotechnology …

Energy transferred via thermal radiation between two surfaces separated by nanometer
distances can be much larger than the blackbody limit. However, realizing a scalable …

Direct conversion of heat to electricity via solid-state approaches is a rapidly advancing area
of research owing to its prospective use in recovering waste heat and in energy storage and …

The sun and outer space are two of the most important fundamental thermodynamic
resources for renewable energy harvesting. A significant amount of work has focused on …

Thermophotovoltaic systems, like all thermal engines, are constrained by the trade-off
between efficiency and power density. Standard thermophotovoltaic systems can have …
