In a new experiment, a silica fibre just 500 nm across has been shown not to obey Planck’s law of radiation. Instead, say the Austrian physicists who carried out the work, the fibre heats and cools ...

Breakdown In Planck's Law: Bringing Objects Close Together Can Boost Radiation Heat Transfer Date: July 31, 2009 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: A well-established physical ...

Planck’s doubts First formulated in 1900, Max Planck always suspected that his eponymous law was not valid at length scales comparable to the wavelength of thermal radiation, a regime known as the ...

Planck's blackbody radiation law, formulated in 1900 by German physicist Max Planck, describes how energy is dissipated, in the form of different wavelengths of radiation, from an idealized non ...

Triumphant Work. Imbedded in Max Planck’s Law of Radiation (published in 1901) was something vastly more important: Planck’s “universal constant” (6.624 x 10 -27 erg-seconds), now ...

A study in the journal Nano Letters shows that the well-known rules of heat transfer from a nonreflective object, called Planck's blackbody radiation law, break down if the object can be brought ...
