Incredible new material makes heat programmable

According to ScienceDaily, researchers have created a material that programmably controls heat. Unlike conventional materials, this innovation directs thermal radiation, switches between different modes, and remembers its settings without continuous power. Applications include smarter infrared sensors, improved energy systems, and potentially memory devices that store data using light and heat rather than electrical charges—a fundamental shift in manipulating thermal energy.
