Researcher studies control of the radiative heat transfer in a pair of rotating nanostructures

https://phys.org/news/2023-03-pair-rotating-nanostructures.html

"depending on rotation frequencies, radiative heat transfer between 2 rotating nanostructures increased, reduced, or reversed with respect to the transfer that occurs in the absence of rotation... In absence of rotation, radiative heat transfer determined by nanostructure temperatures... transformation of heat into electromagnetic radiation absorbed by photovoltaic cell produce electricity... control of radiative heat transfer makes process more efficient... turning heat into motion exploiting Casimir interactions"
