Engineers create tunable, nanoscale, incandescent light source

Engineers have created what may be viewed as the world’s smallest incandescent lightbulbs, collections of near-nanoscale materials called ‘selective thermal emitters’ that absorb heat and emit light. Their research could have applications in sensing, photonics and perhaps in computing platforms beyond the limitations of silicon.
