Researchers have made a thermal camouflage device from graphene that can adjust how much heat it emits in response to the background temperature (Nano Lett. 2018, DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.8b01746). The material could be used to hide people and planes from night-vision cameras, but also help satellites survive extreme temperatures in space or lead to more responsive home heating systems.
