A Coherent Metamaterial Detector

Journal Article Laser and Photonics Reviews · March 6, 2026 Metamaterials can be designed to achieve frequency-selective, near-unity absorption. One can exploit the absorptance functionality of the metamaterial in order to detect incident radiation. However, a coherent detector, that is both sensitive to phase and ... Full text Cite

Ionic Liquid-Based Reversible Metal Electrodeposition for Adaptive Radiative Thermoregulation Under Extreme Environments

Journal Article Advanced Functional Materials · January 19, 2026 This paper presents the development of an electrochemically-driven variable emission thermoregulating device designed for efficient radiative heat management across various temperature environments. Utilizing the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium te ... Full text Cite

Solution-processed electrochromics for synergistic solar and radiative heat management

Journal Article Nature Sustainability · January 1, 2026 Maintaining thermal comfort sustainably is critical to reduce the share of global energy used for heating and cooling. However, current radiative materials for personal thermal management typically offer a singular direction of operation (either heating or ... Full text Cite
