A new thermal "invisibility cloak" that channels heat around whatever it is trying to hide may one day help keep people and satellites cool, researchers say. Invisibility cloaks, once thought of only ...

One of the many challenges facing electric vehicle engineers is the fact that temperature variations can have an impact on battery performance. A new “cloak” developed by researchers at the Shanghai ...

A team at Shanghai Jiao Tong University has developed a prototype “thermal cloak” that can dampen the extreme temperature fluctuations felt in cars left out in the sun. The research was published ...

When an electric vehicle is parked outside, its temperature can swing wildly from day to night and season to season, which can lead to deterioration of the battery. To dampen these fluctuations and ...

The first experimental realization of a three-dimensional thermal cloak shielding an air bubble in a bulk metal without disturbing external thermal flux has been made. The cloak is made of a thin ...
