Scientists create smart material that manages heat like digital data
A team of researchers has engineered a novel smart material capable of programming heat in a way that mirrors how data is stored on computer chips. By combining a magneto-optical substance with a phase-change material called GST, the team built a device that can guide thermal radiation, toggle between different modes, and hold its configuration even without a constant power supply. This breakthrough could lead to the development of more efficient energy technologies.
